The manufacturers are terrible when it comes to returning your leased vehicle and they will definitely try to nickle and dime you on repairs including dings and chips before you can hand them the keys. However, as with the KMs, if you do your research ahead of time and pick a car that will hold its value you can be in a position to sell the vehicle privately and avoid all the manufacturer nonsense.
I sold my 2006 Acura TSX due to the above reasons when it came close to the end of lease and end up pocketing $2k in the transaction. Northwest Acura was actually great in helping me to facilitate the whole transaction so the buyer I found felt safe that the lein would be removed from the vehicle. He cut NW Acura a cheque for the full amount and they in tern paid out Honda Finance and wrote me cheque for the difference.
