Getting ready to turn in my truck. Have some gouges on one of the rims. Would this be considered excess?

My last lease was an Infiniti Q50 for my wife. If the inspector could cover it with a credit card, there was no excessive damage. She had a good sized curb rash on one wheel (about 7" long). He said it would be a $50 excess damage fee.

If you buy or lease another, they waive darn near anything. Infiniti even offered to pay the last couple months of the lease payments if we bought another. We started shopping early. We did purchase a QX50.

Get your inspection done as early as you can so you know what you're looking at long before it's time to turn it in!

I think you're ok. My last lease, I had a couple of curb rashes about 2-3 inches long and I wasn't charged anything (normal wear and tear). Just make the car is cleaned inside and outside when they come and do the inspection.

Nothing normal about 2-3 inch rash you were lucky.
I see rim damage in the dealership for lease returns. Get ready for a rim sandwich.
You might want to get the part number and see if you can get them cheaper.

GM Financial is very forgiving. You should be fine. Those are considered normal wear and tear.

When I went to have my leased 2001 GMC Sierra evaluated for the lease turn-in, GMAC was not very forgiving. I ended up buying it off lease and keeping for another 10+ years, so it was a moot point.

Maybe it helps if you're way under the miles in the lease terms.

My guess is the minor rash is ok
