    Would you care to share why you decided to purchase your truck instead of continuing to lease? Was it in order to lower your monthly payment? Is this a simple matter of financing enough to pay the remaining lease payments and the residual?

    Thank you very much.
     
    Grijon Thanks this.

    Yes to everything you said...

    My monthly payment is lower than what my weekly lease payments for the month would have been. I'm saving $14,500 per year....

    I wanted to get out from under a weekly payment.... Much less stress with a monthly payment...

    And I wanted to be out from under the thumb of SFI. Now if I want to take MY truck elsewhere I don't have to ask permission. My truck loan is through my local bank.....

    Roll on...

    Thank you for replying. Can I ask what term you were able to negotiate? How many months, what is your payment now? If not I completely understand, no worries.

    I am considering the same thing for the same reasons. With a fairly good credit score I can get somewhere around 5%. I suspect you are somewhere around there or lower.

    Again, thanks for your time and reply, here and in pm.
