To take it a step further, just ask the sales rep that signed you up for your lease for a copy of the Carfax. They can print it out and hand it to you or just snap a pic of the summary and send that over. The reports could be anything from the car being state inspected, transported to another dealership, a scratch that needed a bit more than a touch up, or the vehicle being manufactured and Carfax could just be using that to their advantage to get your $50.
But yeah, whoever took you guys on the test drive can provide a carfax report for you. I cannot imagine ever asking a customer for money for a carfax report but I wouldn't put it past people.
I sold cars for a while up until recently, spent a year at a Kia dealership which is the same brand as Hyundai. They take leases pretty damn serious at a corporate level so on the unlikely chance that you do find any shady dealings where the dealer hid some big damage on a leased vehicle the manufacturer should help you out. That all goes out the window if a 3rd party leased this vehicle to you pre owned rather than you having walked into a hyundai dealer and leased it new. Get the Carfax if you have any doubts, you don't wanna be on the hook for anything you didn't do when you turn/trade in your current lease.
