Lease return damage over $500 for single event
Hi everyone, just returned my TL a few weeks ago. Got hit with the windshield, the cost was $540. Acura said I can't pay the difference($500-$540), i'm on the hook for the whole $540. They did split the cost with me, which was nice but I could have installed a windshield for like $150 by hunts point.
Has anyone gone through a similar situation?

Seems unfair doesn't it? They want you to return a used car that looks like a new car! Another reason I don't lease. And another reason to dislike car dealers.

Yes, but I assumed I would only pay the $40 or Acura would waive it.
lol let's slow down here. It was my fault for not checking over the contract to see what was due over $500 also my salesman was great this has nothing to do with the dealer but only Acura financial services.

If so, I am pretty sure you can work something out.
If not, it sucks because you could gone aftermarket and it would have been a lot cheaper. But once it goes thru Acura, I believe they will charge you OEM prices.

Not leasing another Acura at this time. Thankfully I don't have to pay the full amount only half of it.

In MA, there is no deductible for glass. So out of pocket cost =$0

If you're getting another car, no matter the brand just trade it in. Then you don't deal with any of this nonsense. You have a payoff amount like any financed car. I've never "turned in" a leased vehicle.

Think what you're saying is the trade-in value of the car is always greater than the residual value of the vehicle at the end of the lease. This is why dealers love leases.
