Have been considering a suitable replacement vehicle as a daily driver. I am planning on selling my Accord to a good friend of mine for a very reasonable price. Accord will have 155k when sold.
I am really considering on leasing a brand new F150. I get it, the whole money paid and no kept vehicle thing. But I am really excited on potentially having a vehicle where I'm never putting brakes, tires or repairs into it. I drive maybe 4,000 miles a year back and forth to work so a 12,000 mile lease would probably be more than sufficient if not maybe a 10,500 figuring in pleasure. Sure this puts you in a constant state of paying, however, I am getting to a point where the DD/main vehicle... I don't want to do much with. I'd rather put effort into my Regal, job, enjoyment of hobbies. Financially and career wise, things are going excellent.
I like the 2.7 Ecoboost. Seems like a good combination of power and economy. Its payload may be perfect for what I want. My most preferible options would be SuperCab (extended cab), 6 1/2ft box and 4x4. It would be really nice to load the 4 wheeler in the back, or be able to tow 3-4,000lbs worth of a trailer for camping.
Can you lease higher optioned models? I love the creature comforts -- leather, advanced factory stereo, etc. Can you order a somewhat piece-meal option wise truck and lease it? Will the factory build a custom truck to lease? Anyone got one of these trucks? What are you thoughts on it.
Also, FWIW, my uncle and wifes grandpa works and worked at Ford. Not sure how any potential discount from that works, applies or if I am even applicable (or wanted me to use theirs).
Thanks.
