Trade-In with EV direct sale

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.
If you dont think the 2018 car will last until 2027, I would also consider a 2year lease on an EV like a Hyundai or Rivian.

If you do make a move, I would do it before the impact of tariffs reflects on vehicles.
Thanks, I have been shopping. The impact of the tarrifs is already there. Dealers are using it as an excuse to jack up prices. Ford, for example, has the "Employee Pricing Plan" but removed all other incentives so pricing is actually worse. I was looking at the Bronco Sport
 
Thanks for all the input! What is the current prediction on delivery dates for the Scout? (I reserved first day) That is the big variable as to whether leasing would be a good idea.
Everything I have read and heard says starting end of 2027. What that means in reality I have no idea, But same boat over here. I reserved first day as well and am hoping for late 2027 early 2028. My only saving grace is I bought that MOPAR lifetime warranty on my 2013 Wrangler. They don’t sell it anymore and for good reason because as long as I own my Jeep repairs are just a $100 deductible. My heater died at 95,000 miles. I got a new heater coil, oil cooler and radiator for my $100 deductible. So I feel like I hit the lotto over here because I can wait till the Scout gets here no problem.

Good luck with your decision! It’s really opportunities costs at this point it would seem. If you lease something post a picture. I love to see people smiling with their new cars!
