Lease busters?

I have a good friend that would like to buy a new Focus, he was looking into going through Lease busters.

Anyone have any experience with this outfit???

If he wants a new Focus, what's the appeal of going through a third-party vendor?

33" BFG Mud-Terrain KM2s, lots of Rough Country gear - bumper, 2.5" lift, swaybar disconnects, Superwinch 10,000lb winch, Detroit Locker in rear D44 axle, custom exhaust, K+N filtercharger, Superchips-tuned.

Daily driver 2: 2006 Subaru Legacy GT

COBB Stage 1+ package - AccessPort tuner, COBB intake and airbox. Stage 2 coming shortly - COBB 3" AT stainless DP and race cat, custom 3" Magnaflow-based exhaust and Stage 2 COBB tune.

He want's to look into it as an alternative, he's got the money....

It's just that some of the folks on that site are desperate and good deals can be found.

Word to the wise Anthony, the people are desperate to get out of their leases for a reason I'd be personally leery of any car that came from them if only because you have no way of knowing how well the car was maintained before it got there.

Has he looked at demo Focuses? Hell, locally Eastcourt Ford-Lincon is always advertising deals on Focuses, demos and new. There are always deals to be had if you want to look ;)

I've heard a few good things about that company perticullarly, all " their cars " are with-in the low ends of their yearly limit for mileage, and they can offere up some really good incentives for some of their cars they have, in some cases free monthly payments for 90 days, $1000 cash towards a down payment on buying it a the end of the lease and such.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.
