I'm leasing a 2018 RAM 1500. Got the paint protection warranty but it only covers scratches not down to metal.
I got a 8" scratch in my rear passenger door from a rogue cart at Lowes (and yes I was parked far away).
How screwed am I when it comes time to turn in my lease if I leave the scratch as is?
The warranty company said the entire panel would have to be redone as there is also a dent. I feel like if i try to fix it myself, the dealership will never be 'content' with the fix in order to milk as much money from me as possible.
Do dealerships charge you what 'they believe' it would cost to fix it before you can turn in the lease?
I know if i buy the truck instead of turn it in it wont matter, but im not sure if i want to do that yet.
..and my dealership sucks fyi.
