I'm trying to work to finish our Mach E purchase and my dealer is really struggling with Options. Challenges all around. Frustrating process. UGH.
Same thing with my dealer. Now on day 3 of Ford Options not available due to dealer issues. Definitely tell the dealer in advance so they can prepare.

He‘s not.
X2. If you run the Options calculator from the Ford web site you will see that the residual (balloon) is the same regardless if the term is 36 or 48 months.

Not quite. The balloon is lower for the longer term. The car is worth less after 4 years than it would be after 3 years.

I stand corrected. I re-checked my notes and I was looking at various scenarios with only 36 month terms. You are right.
