I'm sure it hurts the resale value but that's one reason why most people stay away from lease returns because you have no idea how the cars been driven. And I've been leasing for years now and the last 3 cars I've returned had some sort of claim on it and I've never had a issue with the leasing company. My brother had a leased out 2003 325i a few years back which had almost $10,000 worth of claims on it when he returned it and BMW never asked one question when the car was returned. As long as the damage has been repaired the leasing company will not say anything.

The whole claims or the car been a lemon is the reason why I listed "- Don't have to worry about getting stuck with a lemon or trying to sell a car that's been in an accident or has a big ass ICBC claim" as one of the pros about leasing.
