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 91 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.

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)

Replying to: wildd (Oct 06, 2007 7:33 am) In NY, you pay tax upfront... In California, you pay on the monthly payment..   If you buy in NY, then immediately move to California, you will effectively be paying the sales tax twice. In this example, you definitely want to wait to lease a car in the state you are moving to.   regards, kyfdx

Hey all....   Can you help me with lease rates and residuals, and perhaps leasing cash, on 2008 Escape.   Looking at 36-39 months I would guess and 12,000 per year. Replies to this message: Car_man (Nov 07, 2007 3:55 am) apprehensive (Nov 28, 2007 9:54 am) Car_man (Dec 27, 2007 2:20 am)

Replying to: gowick (Oct 26, 2007 5:45 am) Hey gowick. Here's the information that you're looking for. This truck's lease program varies by trim level. For now I will assume that you are interested in an '08 Escape XLT 4WD. Let me know if you want something different. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Ford Escape XLT 4WD with 12,000 miles per year are 3.50% and 54%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are 3.75% and 52%. When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 bonus cash that Ford is currently providing on it.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Replies to this message: apprehensive (Nov 28, 2007 9:54 am) Car_man (Dec 27, 2007 2:20 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Nov 07, 2007 3:55 am) Follow up, I too am interested in a 36 mo lease 12k/yr miles. My employer has an arrangement with Ford- some kinda no haggle best price and still eligible for all incentives offered by Ford. Long story short I went through the company linked website and got $16,500 after all rebates, cash incentives etc... on the totally stripped 2008 2WD/ MT model. Was wondering if you could tell me what I'd look at for payments (no tax in NH). Don't want to put much if anything down.   Thanks Replies to this message: Car_man (Dec 27, 2007 2:20 am)

Replying to: apprehensive (Nov 28, 2007 9:54 am) Hi apprehensive. I would be happy to work up a lease payment on the Escape that you are interested in for you. However, in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with its full MSRP in addition to the selling price that you have already mentioned.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
#65 of 91 Re: Leasing Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD [catlover15] by dianna6 Apr 08, 2008 (5:50 am)
Replying to: catlover15 (May 01, 2006 5:36 pm) Hi, I live in St. Louis and bought a 2008. Escape Hybrid a few months ago. I thought I was ready to scale down from an Expedition, but I've been frustrated, at times, when I can't carpool a load of kids or fill the cargo area with the extreme amount of equipment needed for my last 2 kids' softball tournaments. I feel like I made an error in downsizing too soon. It's with much regret that I'm thinking about selling this beautiful vehicle and buy something with 3 rows and more cargo room. My Escape is 2 wheel, loaded all the way, Leather, Nav, Satellite Radio, Heated seats, Sunroof, you name it. The color is black slate metallic - not really black, sometimes hints of the darkest blue, other times the darkest of green, I guess depending on the type of sunlight or lack of, but very cool, everybody comments about it. I know your posting is old, but I highly recommend this vehicle. I also live in the St. Louis area and the 2008 Escape Hybrid was hard to find. They had to ship it from out of town. Love the vehicle, 33mpg, Nice ride.
#66 of 91 $229 a month? by haftown Apr 09, 2008 (9:21 pm)
$229 a month lease for 12,000 miles a year, 36 months, no money down for a basic XLS.   Is this decent lease pricing or should I be able to get it down farther. It is some kind of sign and drive/red carpet event. I am new to leases. I appreciate the help!   Thanks Replies to this message: Car_man (May 08, 2008 1:22 am)
