Ford Escape: LEASE by shouchien

Hi CarMan
I am very interested in leasing an escape, and have contact several dealers in my area. I got a quote of 07 XLT Sport (MSRP: $27055) for 39 mo 12K miles. They asked for $425 a month. and I have been told the residual is 46% with 1.75% rate, and the monthly payment is set by ford that they can not change it. I know they try to rip me off. What is the current rate/residual for a ford escape? thanks. 36 mo with 12K miles per year. Could you provide for both 07 XLT and XLT Sport?

2008 Escape Lease by nkco

Hi Car_Man,
I'm looking to lease a 2008 Escape Hybrid 4WD for 36 month and 12000 miles a year in Denver, CO. I'm ok with a base model, but I would like the sun roof and upgraded stereo. I know there is bonus back right now ($545?) and also I'm a grad student so I should get another $500 bonus back. What kind of residual and money factor (or rate) can I expect from Ford right now? I want to make sure I know how much they're trying to rip me off when I go in to look. Thanks for your help!

Hi shouchien. What you were told about this truck's lease payment being set by Ford is not true. Its lease program is set by Ford, but not its selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. It is important that you negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the Escape that you want before having the dealer calculate its lease payment.
 
I believe that Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Escape XLT 4WD with 12,000 miles per year are 1.25% and 46%, respectively.

Hi nkco. I am sorry to say that I believe Ford pulled the plug on the $545 bonus cash that is was providing on the 2008 Escape Hybrid. It is now only available on the non-Hybrid model. This truck's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Ford's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of an '08 Escape Hybrid 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are 6.5% and 52%, respectively.

For Escape residual values? by rs1807

"The 2008 Ford Escape delivers as much as an 11-point improvement in 36-month residual value over the 2007 model and now outperforms several key competitors."
 
Car_man, We are also looking at a Ford Escape Hybrid. Is the above statement, that was in Ford's 2008 Escape Press release, true? At 52% it seems there was actually little or no improvement in 2008 residual values.

Our local dealer has a lease on a 2008 Escape 6 Cyl, AWD, XLT. $265/month for 39 months with only $1,695 down. This payment is prior to any taxes and is only valid on the Escape AWD XLT with the Sun/Satellite Package. I believe this is a national offering. Is it a good deal? .... and can it be negotiated? Thnaks.

That seems to be a very good price - it would equal about $308 with zero down. I paid $292 for a base XLT w/ sun and satellite, 12k miles, nothing down but taxes and first payment.
 
The price quoted is probably for 10k miles per year, for the 12k mileage your payment would be about $10-15 per month higher.
 
I don't think you could negotiate much on this price, it is obviously below dealer invioce by a good margin.

2007 Escape XLS or XLT by bnix82

We are looking for a 2007 XLS or XLT. They are getting harder to find, so I may not have a choice. We are located in Idaho but may have to go into Washington if that makes any difference.
 
Could you please provide me with the residuals and money factors for these trim levels for 36 months and 12k or 15k miles per year? Thank you in advance.
