Robbo Member 249 Member For: 21y 11m 29d Location: Sydney Posted 07/12/06 10:10 PM Share Posted 07/12/06 10:10 PM Hi all,It has been a long time since I've been here and its good to see the forum still going strong.I'm looking for some advice please. I've got one of the early XR6Ts, December 2002 and the lease is due for payout this month (Ford Credit). I don't need my T anymore, sadly, as my work role has changed and I drive a ute day to day and can't afford the extra car.Do I ...Pay it out and sell it privately.Give it back to the dealer and lose a few thousand.Refinance and keep it.Rego is also due at the same time.It is a manual T with Premium Sound, Sports Steering Wheel in Phantom and done around 100,000kms. Any ideas if there is a market for it at around $20,000.I didn't post this in Buy and Sell because I'm only really after opinions.Cheers all.

O2STOCK Donating Members 607 Member For: 19y 2m 16d Location: Brisbane Posted 08/12/06 12:21 AM Share Posted 08/12/06 12:21 AM Need to find out what the dealer will give you normally minimum $$. If the dealer gives you the payout $$ then this I think is the easy option, but some times they dont even come close. In this case you will need to advertise.I guess the question is how hard are you willing to work to sell the car to gain 2K-3K. If it was a company car any amount over the depriciation value will be taxable so if FORD take it for 20K and you can sell it for $23K this 2-3K bonus will be more like 1-1.5K (Tax margin at maximum) in the hand less advertising expensis.In short I always give mine back, the last few months it normally has the worst treatment / most fun, which offsets the $$$ I guessjust my 2c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
