I’m currently driving a 2023 bZ4X Limited sitting at 27.5k miles, and the "Maintenance Required" warning just popped up on my dash. My complimentary ToyotaCare expired back in April, so anything done now is going to be out-of-pocket.

My lease ends next April, and I have zero intention of keeping or buying out the car. Since it's an EV and I only have about 8 months left, I really don't want to pay the dealer $300+ for a 30k service package on a car I'm returning so soon.

For those who have turned in a Toyota lease before:

1. Does Toyota Financial actually check or ask for maintenance receipts when you turn the car in?
2. Will I get hit with any direct fees or penalties solely for skipping the 30k service?
3. Is there any harm in just resetting the maintenance light on the dash and driving it until lease end (assuming tires and brakes still have enough life)?

Thanks in advance!

Found a Gen 1 Artist at my local GC for $259. Looking for a gigging "workhorse" so I can stop beating up my Fender Blues Deluxe.

- is it a good price?

- compared to the latest models, it is a big difference ?

- how is it with pedals? never really gigged with a solid state amp.

I just need something reliable that I don't have to baby. Should I grab it? If not, any other alternatives?
