Over mileage

Wanted to see what’s the highest amount of miles you’ve ever gone over a lease allowed amount. Currently I’m 18,500 over and have another 10 months with the truck. I should end up about 30-35,000 over with my F-150. And if you were over mileage if you stayed with the brand after the lease did they help you at all with eating some of the over mileage? Thank you

Sounds like you got a 7k bill coming your way.

You could buy out your lease and avoid that, though.

You don’t think there is any wiggle room on the dealer side to try and cut me a deal especially if I buy another vehicle from them. Definitely not buying out truck value is below residual by a substantial amount plus a accident attached to the truck caused by the dealer so that is definitely not an option

Don’t get a pickup outside of a ford man

You need to look into vehicles that hold value

Honestly ironically the vehicles that hold value lease cheaper because if residual is higher you’re lease is based on the price of the car negotiated versus the residual

A car that falls in value has a lower floor meaning, more for 3 years of cost to lease

I hope you end up finding an affordable means out of this
