So after talking to my ford dealers I think I’m getting close to my build date . With that being said I need to start looking into the buying process . I would have never thought about leeasing a vehicle but I heard it is a better way Togo now a days with the crazy car market . I’m planning on keeping it . What are your thoughts?

Hey there! Exciting times ahead with your Ford build! 🚗 Leasing can be a great option, especially in today's unpredictable car market. It offers flexibility and lower monthly payments. If you plan on keeping the car long-term, consider checking the lease-end buyout terms.

Not sure the Bronco would be a good choice to lease (Bronco sport ..Yes) unless you never take it off road or have no interest in doing any type of Mods. Wife is on her 3rd BMW lease, and Ill tell u what when u turn in for a new one they FU every which way they can... Her second one they found a pin sized nick in windshield $1850 bucks, it was a nightmare due to we had already gave the insurance company the vin for the new one and we had to fight to get it covered. The point is I had to look 3 times to see this "chip" and I bet they never even replaced the windshield... If your going to lease then buy-out then its all about the numbers you feel comfortable with, if your looking to lease a new Bronco every 3 years id be carefull...

IMO, if you have to lease you can't afford the truck. Shouldn't buy it. I've heard all of the excuses to get a lease, get a new car every 3 years, it's always under warranty, don't for get I have to pay more money if I drive to many miles, or I'm going to rent a car to go on vacation so I don't exceed my mileage and have to pay extra for it. Many moons ago I started saving a monthly amount for a car. I always put that money in the bank...my bank...paid myself. When it comes time to purchase a car you have the cash to buy it. You don't worry about can I afford, you think about what you want to buy. Then you will hear, but you could have invested the money and taken out a loan at a cheaper rate...yep...how is that working for folks now? Oh by the way, I'm still investing my money and making more then taking out the loan or lease. That money you never get back. My 2¢.
