Anyone know of any Ford lease specials at this time? (January 18th)

 

No but I bet you there might be some good deals on some 2004 models

 

I thought so too, however, with the residual value it is more beneficial to but the newest model...actually by the month as well as the year. For example, If you lease a 2004 the residual value would be worse on a car sent out in August as compared to December....

 

I thought the only things that mattered was year model, options, and the mileage?

 

I have leased 3 vehicles myself and helped my girlfriend out last November. Look into it... you'll find out it is cheaper and a better deal to lease the newest year +month as possible. It loses value sitting out in the lot.

 

Yeah, but I keep my vehicles a few years after I've paid them off. Except for the Chevy, but that was because I got laid off, so I just paid it off and sold it.

 

I agree with buying it after the lease is over...that is if the car is worth more than the residual value payoff. Thta is another reason to lease the latest year + month vehicle on he lot! I paid off my Blazer and kept it one more year. I was then able to sell it for $4000 more than I owed on it...sweet deal! lol

 

When your leasing I didn't know any of the money is going toward some loan principle.

 

I believe so, otherwise if your lease was $399 that would all be interest.....??

 

Or just the decrease in vehicle value and any interest they could make?
