Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

A lot depends on the inspector you get that comes to inspect your car.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It depends on the leasing company. I recall that one company provided a template (about a credit card size) and said that anything smaller than that size was considered "normal" wear and tear and you did not have to pay for it.
Another company made an allowance of about $1-$1.5k (cannnot recall exact amount) and stated that as long as the
aggregate
cost of items to be repaired were below that threshold you were OK. You should check with your leasing company (they may send you a checklist of what they are looking for).
One last note: beware of tires. If your tires are going to be borderline at the time you turn the car in, you may be exposed to paying for a new set of tires that someone else (not you) will enjoy. I suggest you get a new set of tires earlier and enjoy them before turning the car in.
Of course, but I wanted to get an unbiased view of people's real time experiences. I'm sure the leasing company (PCA) will give me generic information.
Are you going to be purchasing another car from the dealer you turn it in to? If so, that might also make the process that much easier and they might even waive the return fee that is charged. I think it is sometihng like $350 for PCNA.
A lot depends on the inspector you get that comes to inspect your car. Basically though the best thing you can do is to contact your leasing company and ask for a lease return checklist. They pretty much stick to those pretty well.
Don't want to sound like a jerk here, but grease some inspectors and they will take a car back without wheels. Won't work all the time and may even blow up in your face, but if you feel them out and get the right guy $500 could save you 2K.
