#50 of 92 Re: 2008 Escape Lease Questions [rwbuck] by ron1958 Jun 15, 2007 (6:39 am)
Replying to: rwbuck (Jun 13, 2007 7:58 am) rwbuck   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.   -Ron
#51 of 92 2007 Escape XLS or XLT by bnix82 Jul 02, 2007 (8:52 pm)
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. Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 18, 2007 2:07 am)

Want to lease a 2008 Ford Escape XLS 2WD-4cyl. Interested in a 36month 15K lease term. Would like to know this vehicle's Ford Credit lease rate and residual value, as well as info on applicable dealer signing fees and available customer cashback incentives/rebates. And is it best to negotiate via email/phone with the dealer, or go in person? Thanks! Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 18, 2007 2:13 am)
#53 of 92 July Lease Numbers by aepheme Jul 10, 2007 (9:42 am)
Heard back from the Ford dealer today:   4WD Escape 24mos/12k $500 rebate APR of 0.75% Residual of 62%   4WD Mariner is exactly the same EXCEPT: Residual of 63%   Interesting that it has that extra +1%.

Replying to: rs1807 (Jun 09, 2007 1:28 pm) Hi rs1807. Ford Credit's 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for the 2008 Escape XLT 4WD is 52%. This compares to 43% for an otherwise identical lease of a 2007 model, which is a solid 9% improvement...but not quite the 11% that you mentioned. The Edge's residuals vary by trim level though so the spread might be different for other versions of this truck.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: rwbuck (Jun 13, 2007 7:58 am) Greetings rwbuck. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the Edge that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.   For now I can tell you that manufacturers' advertised lease payments usually leave a little meat on the bone so to speak. I would not be surprised if you were able to negotiate a more attractive selling price on the Edge that you are interested in than the one that was used to arrive at the advertised payment. If you are able to do this, the monthly payment would drop a little.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: bnix82 (Jul 02, 2007 8:52 pm) Hi bnix82. Unfortunately, as of July 10th Ford is no longer providing lease support on the 2007 Escape. If you really want to lease an Escape, you will probably have to go with a 2008 model. You can always finance the Escape that you are interested in at 0% for 5 years if you are set on going with an '07 model.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Replying to: tjaisv (Jul 07, 2007 9:54 am) Here's the information that you're looking for, tjaisv. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Escape XLS 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are 1.75% and 46%, respectively. I don't believe that Ford is providing any cash incentives on leases of this truck right now. If you were to lease one, at signing you would have to pay your first month's payment, Ford Credit's $595 acquisition fee, a security deposit equivalent to your monthly payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment, and any required state taxes or fees.   As far as how to negotiate with dealers goes, I personally don't think that it matters if you do so via e-mail, the phone, or in person. Dealers always prefer that consumers physically visit them because they feel as though they have a much better chance of sealing the deal with a person who is actually in the showroom. Regardless of which method you choose, negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using the aforementioned lease rate.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#58 of 92 Want to lease a '08 XLT AWD by afwife93 Sep 21, 2007 (12:09 pm)
Hi Car man,   I noticed the last post on this topic dates back a few months. I am in the market for the above car and I'm wondering about the lease rate (money factor) and the residual value on this SUV for 24 & 36 months. Please shed some light so I can be enlightened when I head to the dealer. Thanks.
#59 of 92 New Lease by wildd Oct 06, 2007 (7:33 am)
Replying to: Car_man (May 22, 2006 2:18 am) Hi, Car_man!   I am new to leasing program. So I have few questions.   1). Can I lease a car in one state NY and transfer it over to California?   2). As soon as I get a car, I would need to drive to California, If I am going to lease can dealers add extra let's say 3000 miles to the yearly mileage. Can they do that?   3). Do you think it's better to lease in the state where I am moving to or it doesn't really matter?   Thank you so much.... - D. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Oct 06, 2007 10:03 am)
