Have you done this? How successful were you? I never thought of this angle. My Tahoe is up this year, and the residual is $36, I believe. Quick kbb look up says I can sell for $42 on my own. That's a $6k turnaround.Agree 100%. Lease is based on projected residual value. I considered that and if it is higher after 3 years, buy it and flip it if I don't want it, buy it and keep it if I do. Still on the fence on whether to buy or lease...
I have not, but know others who have. Never leased a vehicle before. I have no idea about how taxes etc come into play. Just thinking about having a safety valve in case a 1st model year vehicle craps out...Have you done this? How successful were you? I never thought of this angle.

Thx. I'll have to look into this more. I thought, but need to check the paper work, taxes are already paid when it's leased. But it also wouldn't surprise me if I'd get double taxed, lol. And I'm could totally be mistaken. (likely)I have not, but know others who have. Never leased a vehicle before. I have no idea about how taxes etc come into play.

Same boat. Game time decision. Wanted to float it up in here to get feedback and experiences...It's going to be a game time decision. The rates for lease in build and price are kinda trash. If they end up being better than that, probably leasing. If not, will probably buy. New model and I'm notoriously fickle when it comes to cars... But I've been lusting after broncos my whole life.
As long as ford doesn't f*ck this up, you may be able to lease and flip on the other end and not lose your shirt. Buying your own rig at the end may be pricey though. Only time will tell.
ETA: I keep forgetting some people have tax to deal with. that further complicates things a ton, I'm very fortunate to not have to consider that at all
Was on the fence, but after seeing the lease rate residual on the BB that made my mind up for me.The residuals on base and Big Bend are really high ( assuming it’s the same at deal time) and you can max a squatched BB at a pretty nice monthly payment. Base even better.
Remember that it's possible to have a lease longer than the factory warranty and it would be on you to fix it before returning it. Like me, I'm in a 42 month lease and had a standard 36 mo / 36k mi warranty.I am going to lease just in case Ford has some issues. I am not expecting any but I want a parachute if I need one.
What was it for a 2 or 3 year roughly?Was on the fence, but after seeing the lease rate residual on the BB that made my mind up for me.
I don't want a potential lemon. or headache.So still trying to figure out which will be better, Leasing or Purchase. What say you all?
