I bought a 2013 XLT in December, but im not very happy with it because it was a downgrade for me. I was thinking of doing one of the following:

Option 1
Trade it in for a new loaded 2013 King Ranch or Raptor

Option 2
Wait until the new style Fords to come out and trade it in then. I should have my current XLT paid off by next year.

 

Do both, it's good for the economy!

Seriously....do you expect our opinions here to be needed for this decision?


Well....OK..here's mine....if you've seen and analyzed the Ford Atlas, and LOVE it more than the current body style then wait for it, knowing that the real road model is going to be WAY watered down....You are however going to get hammered trading in a 2013 on a 2013......got to ask....WHAT were you thinking????

 

What are you not happy with?

 

Option 2

 

How did you get financed for 24 months, I didn't think anybody did that anymore.

 

Keep in mind that even if you have a 72 month loan you can make extra payments to principal to shorten the term.....

 

why pull the trigger on an XLT when you are more than financially stable (im assuming by the plan to pay off in 24mo) to get what you truly wanted to get from the start. Impulse buy? Didnt think things through?

 

I needed a 4x4 and thought that saving some money on an XLT would be great. Turns out it came at the expense of me being happy with the truck.

 

what feature(s) are you missing, and can they not be added to your truck? which route would be more cost-effective, upgrading the current truck, or taking a hit on it to get a higher model?
