    I have a 2010 Prius III with 30k miles and $17100 residual expiring 4/5/13. The tires are 3 originals and one newer tire (not matched and replaced due to nail in sidewall). It also has scratches on lower edge of front bumber due to in and out of driveways (this has to be very common). Am I going to get charged for tires and the scratches by Toyota? I am going to lease a new vIII this month. Will this entice Toyota to be forgiving? Any lease return stories?

    ...by the way, I think I had a really great deal: 0 drive off, $238/mo plus tax= $261!

    Yes... I ended up leasing a Black Cherry Persona and turned in my 2010 III. I'll have to wait to see what TFS says about the lease return.

    No, I didn't have excess wear care... I am now just waiting to hear from TFS if there will be charges. How does anyone avoid lower edge front bumper scapes?? I am trying to be very careful with my new car!
