bdegrand Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The 2 year lease on our 2013 Escape SEL ends this month. We are trying to decide to buy it or lease another one. I heard they keep their value but need any advice from others to help us. Is it better to buy it or lease another one. It has the 1.6 litre engine.

twintornados Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Depends what the residual value (aka: buy out) is....if the value to buy it is lower than book value, it is worth the buy....if the value to buy it is higher than book value...toss the keys on the desk and pick another one...

akirby Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Depends on whether you want that vehicle or a new one and what your residual is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donaldo Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 The 2016s will have a new SYNC system which will likely make the older versions lose value more quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 The 2016s will have a new SYNC system which will likely make the older versions lose value more quickly. That won't make a hill of beans difference in resale value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
