Hey team, currently working a purchase with a dealer and we are trading in a Ford Explorer with 5 payments left. We and them can’t seem to get a price on the vehicle? I work at a dealer and my GM told me fords are tricky and the dealer, Jaguar, I’m working with will have to call a Ford store and get a current buy price and then they have to sell it to the Ford store?! Seems odd, anyone have any experience with this? Thanks
There were some recent threads mentioning problems with similar issues. IIRC, Ford will not allow anyone but the lessee to buy/payoff the vehicle. i also vaguely recall that the problem may only arise during the last 90 or 120 days of the lease.
Correct. You have to call the originating dealer to get the payoff
This is consistent with my experience. Ford does that to give the originating dealer the chance to buy it back, so they lock you out of selling it to anyone else.
