Chrysler Capital Lease return within 90 days

[azan1]

I have a chrysler capital lease with maturity date of May 2025. I have 85 days remaning on the lease and have 2 payments remaining.
Can I make the 2 remaining payments and turn the vehicle in right now?
Will it be considered early termination? If so will the final charges be just the remaining payments+ etf fee or will it be difference between by residual value minus auction selling price?
TIA

Just return the call aka ground and wait for the final bill in the mail - make sure you get the inspection done if there’s any damages

The bank will bill you for any early term fees

You have to be careful with Chrysler Capital though, there’s been reports of people receiving bills for the difference between the end of lease value and the auction results. I’d call them and make sure that you are within a window where you can’t or won’t be penalized for anything like that before I ground the car.

Some very recent similar discussion:

Turn in jeep one pay lease early? ETF?

I’ve called Chrysler capital to get this question answered and have gotten two different answers. I have a one pay jeep lease that’s due May 20th of this year. Has anyone turned their lease in early, and if so, was there an ETF? I’m not sure as to why there would be an etf if the lease was paid in full, but it also wouldn’t surprise me. TIA

Wow I didn’t know Chrysler was that problematic - I guess be careful with them

(NJ, Jeep) Help! Early Car Return - Chrysler Capital - Options?

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on the best way to return my Chrysler Capital financed vehicle early. I have 4 payments remaining. The payoff quote is about $8,000 higher than the market value, making selling it outright a loss. Chrysler Capital informed me that even if I pay the entire remaining balance, it will still be considered an early termination, resulting in extra fees and a negative impact on my credit score. I’m willing to pay the remaining balance and any disposition fee, but w…

In case helpful to anyone: I leased my 4xe from an out of state dealer and had it shipped to/the dealer facilitated the registration in California. I wanted to turn it in ~90 days before maturity and walk away having paid in full upfront. My CCAP 1 pay lease has language unambiguously stating that I would be liable for any negative equity (amount by which Adjusted Lease Balances exceeds Vehicle’s Realized Value) in the event of an early termination (undefined). It’s ~$5k underwater base…

I’d call them and make sure that you are within a window where you can’t

This window, if you’re just grounding it, is any time after the final payment is due (aka last 30 days).
