LEASE OR BUY A NEW NISSAN VEHICLE

You can return your current vehicle to lease or buy a new Nissan vehicle. Thanks to the Nissan Canada Financial Services Customer Loyalty Program, this option is particularly advantageous. This program aims to facilitate the transition to your next Nissan vehicle. Since you are a loyal customer, we want to offer you more! To be eligible for the Loyalty Program, you must currently lease or finance a Nissan vehicle through Nissan Canada Financial Services, or own a Nissan vehicle from 2009 or newer. Immediate family members residing at the same address and holding a valid driver's license are also eligible.

BUY YOUR CURRENT LEASED VEHICLE

You know your vehicle, making it the best used vehicle for you. If you choose to keep it, you will avoid potential excess mileage fees and potential wear and tear charges.

HOW TO PROCEED

RECEIPT OF WEAR GUIDE.

About six months before your term ends, you will receive a copy of the wear guide, which outlines the standards for normal and excessive wear as determined by Nissan Canada Finance.

VEHICLE CHECK

In the wear guide, you will also have access to a check tool that allows you to assess the condition of your vehicle. If necessary, you can also make an appointment with your dealer, which will allow you to address any potential issues before returning the vehicle.

RECEIPT OF NOTICE BY MAIL

You will receive a letter 30 days before your lease expires; it will inform you of the options and special offers available to you if you wish to purchase or lease a new Nissan vehicle.

SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT

After receiving the notice, you must contact HGrégoire Nissan Blainville at (450) 472-8664 to schedule an appointment to return your vehicle. Be sure to do this before your lease expires.

VEHICLE RETURN

On the day of your appointment, HGrégoire Nissan Blainville will perform the grounding of your vehicle in your presence. It will be recorded online on the internal site. We call this process "vehicle grounding." A grounding receipt, acknowledging the vehicle's return date, will be issued and must be signed by you and your advisor. It will then be sent electronically to Nissan Canada Finance for their records.

INSPECTION

AutoVin, an independent inspection service provider, will conduct an electronic inspection of your vehicle within 48 hours of delivery.
