What are the consequences for terminating lease?
I know SFI wants $11k
Do you loose credit?
I’m trying to figure out what happens when things go south, what are the risks involved when it comes to owning a truck. From the other thread I post about financing a truck, people explained that your truck gets repossessed, you’re in #### ton of debt, and your credit is destroyed.
So does this make lease purchase a better option for exit strategy? Yes you do pay more for the truck, but if you can walk away clean with $10k in the bank, maybe it’s worth it to pay the premium for the truck?

Most lease purchase company deals are not reported to credit bureaus as the main incentive to the company is to offload expenses onto the driver.
They just find another guy eager to take your place.
Although I probably wouldn’t count on them for being a good reference on your employment file. -
check out this thread for some insight:

If you understand how it all works or can take advice then you’ll be able to decide for yourself if what truck you buy at what terms is reasonable according to your expected idea of how you’d like to drive in what lanes and how much you ought to stay out and what freight to book and what to save and track.
Choice is yours. -
Every question can be answered by reading the contract.. Please dont tell me you signed that contract without reading and understanding every word of it?

If you are having to make a down payment to get into a lease purchase program that seems like a scam... Why wouldnt u just go make a down payment on a truck of your own with outside financing and sign on as a owner op.. Probably get better financing terms in the end.. But im just speculating and dont have any first hand knowledge with that company.. But have been successful with a lease purchase progran.
