What is regarded as normal wear and tear on a leased car?
I have a leased car, but I don't want to pay anything when I turn it in based on wear and tear. What is considered normal wear and tear?

This typically includes tires, light bulbs, brakes, and minor scratches. You may have to replace tires, light bulbs, and brakes as a part of regular maintenance.
