Default Lease is coming to an end, thinking of keeping her.

The lease on my 2008 is coming to an end this month. My payoff is $29,900 and I'm seriously thinking of keeping her. I've only put 17000 miles on the odometer (I have a short commute) so it seems like a no-brainer to me.

Can anyone recommend a reputable indy shop in the Los Angeles (So Cal) area that can service the F if need be? I'm not too fond of the dealer and their exorbitant prices.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

ArtF

For $29k, I'd keep it - especially with that low of miles!

You can pay it off and if you decide to sell it, you can get way more then 29k easy

Default I Kept mine

I had a very similar payoff, but mine had just under 30,000 miles on it.

I have my service done by Karsten's in Sherman Oaks. http://www.yelp.com/biz/karsten-imports-sherman-oaks

Well, nobody is taking into account his down payment, it might have been quite large to have such a low payoff.
