2009 Escape XLT by Alexski
Jan 10, 2009 (1:13 pm)

Hi Car_man. I am looking at leasing a 2009 Escape XLT w/ sun & sync and 17" chrome wheel in the Detroit, MI area. I have access to Ford Z-plan pricing. Lease terms are 36-month, 10500 miles with $0.00 down (just title and tax actual due is $488.71), 4.5% with 52% residual. I am told the A/Z plan price is $23,444.64. This would make my monthly payment $337.72. Is this reasonalble? The dealer also mentioned that Ford Credit is ending leasing Escapes on Tues 1/13/09?!? That sounded like a bit of a "hurry and get it now" method of sales. I am also looking at leasing a Fusion at the same time, so the salesman gets two cars (I will post my questions in the Fusion Forum). Thank you in advance for the help!

Could you update these lease rates? I'm in the market for an Escape for the wife, and these would come in handy. Thanks.

Hi Alexski. Ford extended its December incentives, and in turn its December lease program, through January 13th. It just published its new January program a couple of days ago. It actually is fairly similar to its December program, with one major exception. Ford pulled the plug on all of its lease support, except for on the Edge, Flex, and Fusion. I guess that this move isn't completely surprising, considering the fact that General Motors and Chrysler pulled the plug on their lease programs months ago.
 
There's no more lease support on the Escape. If you really want to lease one right now, you will likely have to do so through an independent bank...if one is willing to lease this truck. If you really want an Escape, you will likely be better off financing it or paying cash for it. If you are completely set on leasing, you probably should go with a different model.

Lost job, can't pay lease by caseysdubs1
Mar 27, 2009 (1:28 pm)

My brother in law lost his job and can't pay his lease. He is going to go back to school so a high paying job is not in the near future. He obviously does not want to ruin his credit history but can't pay his $350 a month lease anymore. He has 10 months remaining. The vehicle appraised over $3k under the FMV.
Does he have any options besides trying to get someone to lease or buy it? Does anyone think Ford Motor Credit would work with him or accept like a $1K (or less) payment and let him out?
Lots of questions for him but he does not have internet at home anymore.

best lease? by on_the_cheap

so my wife and i are expecting our 1st child mid-sept, and are only interested in a relatively basic crossover/suv for as little down / monthly as possible.
  
i've read in another post something like "a $28,000 nissan may lease for $450 /month while a $28,000 honda may lease for $350 / month, some lease better than others"...
  
with that, can i get some opinions about the best deals out there? which crossovers/ suv's "lease best"?
  
we've looked at the:
  
vw tiguan (overpriced, quoted $393/month / 36 mos, 0 down, base s model)
  
nissan rogue (quoted $330/month/ 36 mos, ttl down, base SLmodel (cloth, no premium, but awd - we also have nissan loyalty and friends/family)
  
considering the ford escape, but no american mfg's seem to be leasing atm...
  
also, my current lease is up end of june - which is end of dealer quarter - is it better to wait till then to negotiate?

Can anyone provide me with New Jersey lease data (residual, MF, lease cost, acquisiton fee) on an 09 Escape XLS FWD? Also, do Ford leases include GAP insurance? Is there a damage waiver? Thanks very much.

Hi totty. Unfortunately, Ford has cut way back on its lease support over the past year. It is no only providing lease support on a small number of vehicles and the Escape is not one of them. As a result, it would be very expensive to lease an Escape through Ford Credit right now.
 
If you really want to get an Escape XLE, you would be better off financing it through Ford Credit at 0% for up to 5 years or 1.9% for 6 years. You could also pay cash for this truck or finance it through an independent bank and take advantage of the $2,500 cash incentive that is currently available on it.

Any Lease Changes Rumored for June by mlt245

My current Mercury Mariner lease is in it's last 2 months. I had assumed I would just lease a new Escape/Mariner for a similar price, needless to say I was shocked when told how high the lease costs are right now. Are there any rumors that there will be more attractive lease deals on either of these cars over the next 2 months. Are there differences depending on state (New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania)

Hi mlt245. Unfortunately, the attractive leases that were available several years ago in many cases are no longer available today. General Motors and Chrysler have completely stopped leasing and Ford has cut way back.
 
Ford is not currently providing any lease support on the 2009 Escape. If you really want one, you would be better off financing it through Ford Credit at 0% for 5 years.
