I have a trade in that will leave me with $3000 extra and this car has a $1500 incentive deal for a lease (so the dealer told me). That would make $4500 toward the lease price. The MSRP is 29,850 but I got them down to $28,000. They are offering me a lease with all fees and taxes included for $285/month for 36 months w/12k miles a year with a buy-out of 15,000. I only have to pay to transfer the plates and registration out of pocket. Is this a good deal? Please help I am located in NYC tax is 8.25 Thank You! -Stacy

Replying to: sargondizzo (Feb 09, 2006 5:12 am) Let's work up a sample lease payment on the car that you are interested in using Ford's current lease program and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Ford Escape Limited 4WD with an MSRP of $29,850 and a selling price of $26,500 through Ford Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $349. A $3,000 down payment would drop this monthly payment to around $263, but again you are better off not putting any money down. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: Car_man (Feb 10, 2006 4:43 am) I am in the process of choosing a vehicle. The best test drive I completed was for a used Ford Escape XLT. The vehicle did have some engine noise, so I am interested in a newer Escape. I was told that there is a way to lease pre-owned 2003 & 2004 Escapes. This is actually the first time I have heard a dealer mention this. I am in the 14222 zip code. I am really stuck with this search at this point. I have spent 3 months test driving, doing research, etc. I would like to choose a vehicle and secure financing online. Do you have suggestions for financing companies as well? Thank you.

Replying to: ezzell (Apr 20, 2006 7:13 pm) If you decide to finance your new truck instead of lease it, it is in your best interest to get pre-approved to do so before discussing financing with any dealers. Doing so serves two purposes. One, it gives you an idea of what sort of rate you will qualify for and two it often motivates dealers to beat the rate that you already have in hand. You can get pre-approved with a local bank that you do business with, a credit union, or one of the several banks that conduct business on-line. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums |

Car_man, Help! I am looking at a Ford Escape Hybrid 4WD loaded with MSRP of $34,315. My dealership will sell it to me for invoice but I haven't sprung my latest idea on them. Since I am somewhat questioning the longevity of the hybrid, I think leasing it would suit my worries better. If I like it, I can buy one in 3 years. I am a bit ignorant about residuals, etc. I live in the St. Louis, MO metro area where my tax rate is 7.850%. Missouri is a little archaic since purchasing a vehicle requires paying for the entire tax within 30 days to the Dept of Revenue which is like a 2nd down payment. I miss California where they just lump it into the same payment. Enough regressing, I am wondering what kind of offer I should expect on this. I do have a 1999 Ford Taurus to trade in that I purchased from the same dealership 7+ years ago and have been offered $2500 for. What kind of out of pocket expenses should I expect at signing? Thanks for your time. Dana

I should say that I would likely turn the vehicle in at the 36 month point, want to look at a 3/60 extended warranty because 3/36 wouldn't quite cut it and I would want a mileage allowance of at least 15,000. Leasing means I don't have to come up with the out of pocket lump taxes on $30k, that is a plus unless the money due at signing a lease is ridiculous. I also hope that the % financing is good on a Ford Red Carpet Lease and the fact my husband and I are 2 years into a 3 year lease on a Sport Trac isn't an issue for Ford Motor Credit. Thanks again. Dana

Carman, what are the current lease #'s (resd and mf) on a 3 yr 10k (12k if that is the lowest) on an Escape Limited FWD. Do you also have #'s on the Ford balloon note financing? Thanks!

Replying to: catlover15 (May 01, 2006 5:36 pm) If you do decide to lease this truck, make sure not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction, aka down payment, on it. I always advise consumers not to make down payments when leasing because if their leased vehicle is stolen and never recovered or totaled in an accident, their down payment essentially disappears. You can still trade in your Taurus if you want, just have the dealer cut you a check for it. You should be able to lease this truck, only having to pay your first month's payment, a security deposit equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $25 or $50 increment, Ford Credit's $595 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees at signing.
