Several thousands in repairs to keep my 15 year old car running and all of a sudden the spouse says "what if we got you something newer and more reliable..."
FYI, you are more tied with a lease than a purchase. Just because you get a loan doesn't preclude you from selling at any time. Unlike most vehicles, you won't be upside-down for a little while at the beginning. Even for a normal vehicle, by the time you decided there were too many problems, you likely wouldn't have been upside-down. Leases are for people who like to change vehicles frequently and spend more money on their vehicles overall. If you don't see yourself holding onto the Bronco very long, plan to lease (again). I always purchase because I like having years of vehicle ownership with no payments.Hi all, I'm trying decide if I'll buy or lease my Bronco, leaning towards a lease as it will be the first generation and I may not want to be tied to a vehicle if there are early issues. Wondering what others are thinking. My latest car and the one I just sold I bought but prior to those I was leasing every 3 years. Where are you all leaning on this one? Thanks for reading.
The one car that we bought outright (1980 Porsche 911SC) we stupidly sold after 5 years. We had three teens and we couldn't justify keeping it, and It has since tripled in value. Live and learn.FYI, you are more tied with a lease than a purchase. Just because you get a loan doesn't preclude you from selling at any time.

Is that a Sport?I’m going to lease for many of the same reasons. If I like the bronco then I’ll turn this one in and upgrade to a better one in 3-4 years. Hoping by then they will have different color and interior options, etc. Ford needs to do the white interior
yeah, I like the white accent option with the Defender (except the steering wheel). Also like the interior options on the Sport better as well. I do think the Bronco design team dropped the ball a bit on the interior options., would have been better if they offered 4 options all around rather than the fragmented choices currently on offer with the different builds. Logically makes no sense IMO.I’m going to lease for many of the same reasons. If I like the bronco then I’ll turn this one in and upgrade to a better one in 3-4 years.

That pic is the regular size bronco. But after this lease is up, I will upgrade and hoping for that white interior!!! Their interior options are definitely somewhat disappointing but I can see them not wanting to bite more they can chew with the initial launch of a new vehicle
If you go to the build and price you can access this if you scroll down to "Shopping Tools" - "Pricing and Incentives" and you will find it. No incentives offered on the Bronco obviously and the lease estimates are for the base price of each model, not including taxes etc.
Ha ha I'm just across from you at the base of the other Bay Area mountain (Mt. Tam). What dealer are you buying from? You will probably find a good rate at your local credit union. I got 0.9% for 24 months through BMW with the car I just bought, and my last used car was through Community First Credit Union at 2.9%, which is good for used. We can write off a lease payment but as a sole prop. it still comes directly out of our business account, still stings.
Yep true, never tell them if you’re paying cash for sure until the deal has been made. Sadly there won’t be any wheeling and dealing for us this time, where is the fun in that?
