Am I Screwed?
My old Silverado bit the dust right at the perfect time to get into a lease for the Lightning. I had been looking at it but had no plans of getting one because I didn't have a car payment but with my old truck dead I had to have one for work and I figured what I would save in gas would make up for the cost. I got one for 340 a month 12,000 miles a year. And man do I love this truck. If it wasn't for the fact it was a lease I would drive this thing all the time.
My plan was to keep leasing new models of the lightning and hopefully keep similar payments. Well the political environment changed, rebates are gone, and the truck is cancelled. I'm not going back to a gas truck. I don't want whatever nonsense Ford is doing instead and my Buyout is $40,000. I obviously don't want to pay 800 a month for a truck I'm paying $340 for now. The max I could do is probably 500-550 a month. I have about a year left on my lease. Am I probably going to be screwed when it ends or do you think some miracle could be likely as far as buying options for used ones etc?
