Lincoln Lease-End Options in Charlotte
Most Lincoln leases end in one of three ways: lease another Lincoln, purchase this vehicle if it is eligible, or return it. Mark Ficken Lincoln can walk you through those choices, show available vehicles, and help you set the appointment.
If another Lincoln is part of your plan, browse new Lincoln vehicles, start a finance application, review the Finance Center, or look at pre-owned inventory and Lincoln Certified Pre-Owned vehicles before your visit.
How a Lincoln Lease Return Moves Forward

Schedule the official Lincoln pre-inspection within 60 days of lease-end

Quick Answer: Book the official Lincoln pre-inspection inside the 60-day window, then schedule your visit with Mark Ficken Lincoln.
What the Lease-End Inspection Covers
The inspection reviews overall condition for Excess Wear and Use. Completing it early gives you time to file an insurance claim if needed, keep receipts, and schedule service at Mark Ficken Lincoln. Inspection applies when you return the vehicle or move into another Lincoln. It is not required if you purchase this vehicle.
Quick Answer: The inspection report helps you see Excess Wear and Use before the vehicle is returned in Charlotte.
Lincoln Wear and Use Guidelines
Your Lease Agreement and the official Lincoln wear-and-use guidelines cover body panels, glass, wheels, tires, interior burns, cuts, tears, stains, missing parts, poor-quality repairs, and mechanical or electrical concerns. Normal wear is expected. Excess wear may result in charges listed in your agreement. Mark Ficken Lincoln can help you prepare the vehicle, but final charges follow the contract.
Compare current mileage with the allowance in your Lease Agreement. Excess miles may result in additional charges as disclosed in the agreement. Complete lease-end transactions by the lease-end date to avoid additional charges described in your Red Carpet Lease Agreement.
Prepare the Vehicle Before You Arrive
Walk through the vehicle before inspection and return so missing items and obvious damage are not a surprise.
- Exterior dents, scratches, or paint damage
- Windshield chips or cracked glass
- Tire tread depth and overall tire condition
- Interior stains, tears, or excessive wear
- Mileage compared with your Red Carpet Lease Agreement
- All key fobs, floor mats, cargo nets, Owner's Manual, and original accessories
- Repair receipts and charging cords for electric vehicles, if applicable
- Personal items removed and a SYNC / Navigation system master reset completed
Quick Answer: Return the original keys, manuals, accessories, and receipts. Remove personal items, complete the odometer statement at return, and cancel automatic payments after the lease is complete.
