The following Real Life Real Lease story was written by Phil T. of Richmond Hill, Ontario. Phil got out of his leased 2008 Ford Escape and got into a new 2010 Dodge Caravan. Phil’s story is a perfect testimonial for the new “Upgrade Your Ride” program which launched April 2010.

My wife and I had a 2008 Ford Escape, which is a great car, but now with two children in car seats and a double stroller in the back, we found that there was just not enough room in the car. If we needed to purchase items like new furniture for one of our kids, we would have to borrow my sister-in-laws mini-van and with two kids of her own, sometimes this was very hard to set up. If we went grocery shopping we would need to make sure that we had enough room to store everything, and sometimes I would have to make a second trip to go back and pick up larger items.

We knew by getting into a mini-van, days like these would be less stressful. As well, with our oldest child in school and the younger one getting ready for school, setting up a car-pool was going to be an issue as we were unable to drive more than two kids. Most families at our school need to be in a car-pool with other families that have the capability to drive three or four kids and this was just not possible in the Ford. So we started researching mini-vans and found that the Dodge Caravan had everything that we needed and what we were looking for. After talking with the sales representative we realized that the new mini-van was going to be less expensive per month, as long as we could get out of our current lease. I had a couple of friends that used LeaseBusters before and I thought that I would give it a try. The people at LeaseBusters were friendly and very informative. They gave me various tips and suggestions on what I should be doing to get someone interested in taking over my lease as fast as possible.
