Default OMFG...Some A$$$ keyed my car!

I need to return my car end of this month due to end of lease term. But I woke up this morning, and I noticed the key marks at the drive'r side (From the front fender to all the way in the back)

Do I need to repaint the whole body in order to return the lease?

I am soooo stressed out now..

what is the lease return policy for 350z?

thank you ery much in advance...

Of course it would come with a warning sticker. With the above stated picture.

Sorry man, The lease for my SER ended last month and Nissan sent someone to inspect the car (some inspection company and not Nissan). if the damage is over $120 (i think) then you will have to pay for it. But the good thing about this inspection (at least for me) is that they charge you a lot less for the repair than say you getting it fixed by a different bodyshop. They charged me $120 for a completely damaged upper door panel. I went to get an estimate from a body shop and they charged me $500 to get it fixed. The guy inspects it, gives you a print out which states the damage and cost, and it's up to you whether to pay the fees or get it fixed yourself and have it inspected a second time free of charge. Oh and the damage to my door panel was a lot worse than the damage in your pics, but then again it was only in one door and not the whole driver side. Hope this helped!

Sorry about that. Cant tell from a photo if this can be buffed or must be painted. The car is insured right? Take it to a pro.

What is your lease policy on damage? Don't know either. Read the lease.

At least your car wasn't covered by bullet holes and a cement block through the back window...

Why not just turn the claim in to your insurance and have it taken care of prior to the end of the lease?

1) First, try to buff it out. They don't look THAT bad, imo.

2) Have a lease return adjuster come to your house, instead of doing it at the dealership. That way if he doesn't notice the scratches, he gives you a receipt that says "$0" and you're clean. On the other hand, if he does notice the scratches, you slip him $100 and he'll still write "$0". We've done this before, and it's worked twice before, both Nissans too.

Good luck.

Did you cheat on a girl dude? Usually they do things like that... My friend played this one PR girl before going to Korea, she got pissed and set his car on fire. Turns out it wasn't his car at all. He drove it to Miami just before flying to Korea. She messed up someones elses car! But anyways...
