This is why I don't lease or buy cars. I race people for pink slips. It's probably just an error such as the last payment for inspection not getting updated before termination. You're just gonna have to wait until Monday to get some answers.
@DaveInAZ pink slip is the title to a car. As for the damages, it's anything significant. Think golf ball sized and up. Some finance companies may be sticklers for smaller damage like paint chips or a lot of scratches. The amount can be negotiable if the car was taken to some shops for estimates and you have the quotes, but typically, the FI will use the dealer's prices for repair. If you didn't buy wear and tear coverage, you have the option of getting it repaired yourself. The best course of action is to always bring it to the dealer for an inspection whenever something happens. At that point, you can see if it'll be cheaper to fix yourself. Banks, like Chase, will even do an evaluation 3-4 months prior to returning the car so you can see whether it's cheaper to just return it or get it fixed. Sometimes you can use your insurance as a bargaining tool. If you have to file a claim, and it's significant enough, reports like Carfax will mark it down decreasing the value of the car. Obviously, the dealer doesn't want that and they may be more apt to negotiate to avoid something like that and fix it in house. In the end, if you lease or buy a new car, none of it will matter as they'll just look the other way most of the time.
This is exactly why I would never be a lease customer. I'm nervous enough just renting a car. Leasing is like a 3 year rental. No way am I putting myself in that position.
