Toyota Camry 2010 Model - Lease Turn In - Complaint

AUSTIN, TEXAS -- We leased a Toyota Camry back 3 years ago. I have leased cars for several years. I have never paid any money at the end of any lease I have had. I kept the cleaned and is a reasonable shape. We did drive them. At the end of this Toyota Financial lease, last 3 years, the car has 30,000 miles and has had dealer maintenance, I guess they charge for tires being worn, which makes me wonder, are 3 of tires they worn after 30,000 miles, what kind of tires do they provide.. also the front end, which if driven will have tiny dings in it no matter who you are.. imagine that.. not dents, tiny paint chips, hmmm, I don't if I ever had a 3 year old car without tiny dings in the front. Needless to say Toyota Financial wants their cars back from the lease after 30,000 miles, which again is 5,000 less miles than I was allowed on the lease, with absolutely NO wear at all. Means I'm giving them money basically for nothing.

Just a note to remember, don't lease from Toyota financial.
I have leased 4 other cars in my life including an Acura and several others and have NEVER owed anything at the end of any of the leases. I guess the Toyota company, needs to over charge it's customers maybe they're broke, maybe the cars are manufactured cheap now.. no quality I guess.

A new car often has lousy tires in my experience. It makes some sense. They are saving money, and the car manufacturer doesn't make the tire. It's a win-win, for the car manufacturer but not the customer.

As far as dings, I think is is reasonable for the manufacturer to expect no dings at all in the front of the car. There is a measureable difference between tiny nicks and dings. Tiny nicks might be considered normal, I don't know.

Yet another reason why I don't lease. The first reason is because 30,000 miles would barely last a year for me.
