Default Buy my 15 xlt back or start over with a 18 Lariat

I leased a 302a xlt in 2015 and the lease ends in august , buy back is 27k from ford. I love this truck and i dont mind keeping it as its been reliable so far , its got 40 000 kilometers only so buying it back is a good idea i think , unfortunatly the interest rate from the dealer is 5% !

If i get a new 18 this one i would buy instead of leasing , so i would go with a 502a lariat , 0% for 72 months with some cash down that would bring my payments to about the same as my 2015.

My question is , is it worth getting into another 6 years of payments for the 18 lariat instead of keeping my 2015 and paying it back in 2 years ? is there a whole new truck coming in 2019 or 2020 ? thats what would make me regret getting the 18 !

27K seems like a lot to pay for a buy back on a three year old truck.

I have to say this is in canadian dollars so that might be why it seems high , looking online around here they sell for 32-36 depending on mileage.

id get the 18, but thats because i could never live with an xlt. you seem to be happy with it, so it probably isnt a bad idea to just keep it.

sounds like you would have some equity. I would recommend you buy 2015 (lower tax)...then drive it for another 2 years, your mileage is so low.
Then it will be paid off and use it as a down payment towards lariat in 2020 There will likely be a refresh around that time

You don't have to take the dealer's 5%

That buy back price does not seem to be out of line. My buy back price on my `17 XLT is 28k U.S. at the end of my 36 month lease. I will probably buy mine also since I only put around 700 miles a year. I got it last April, & it`s only got 731 miles on it so far (I`m retired)

I've got a XLT FX4 302a with a bunch of added options.
If i had to do it all over again knowing what i know now, i shoulda bought a Lariat instead.
Being up in Canada's snow country especially, IMO a new Lariat with the 4X4 4-Auto option should seal your decision.

I'm in your same situation and I just ordered an 2018 Lariat. There were a lot of features missing in an XLT that I still wanted
