Hi justin3687. Ford's base lease rate for the 2010 Escape varies by region. Generally speaking, it is anywhere from 2.0% to 2.75%. If you tell me what state you are in, I'll gladly let you know what the exact rate is in your area.
 
Ford Credit's current residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Escape Limited AWD with 12,000 miles per year is 50%. The resid for an otherwise identical lease of a FWD model is 49%.
 
Ford is providing a $500 cash incentive on leases of this truck in most areas (it's higher in a few). Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating your lease.

Hi bonesaz. Sorry for the delay in my response, I took some time off for the holidays. Here's the information that you're looking for.
 
Through January 11th, in your area Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Escape XLT 2WD with 12,000 miles per year are 2.0% and 46%, respectively.
 
This truck's lease program varies by trim level. I provided you with the numbers for a common variant of it. Let me know if you want something different.

Welcome Robert. In order to determine whether you should purchase your vehicle at the end of your lease, you need to compare its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. Even though it states your car or truck's purchase option price on your lease contract, you should place a call to the bank that you are leasing it through just to make sure that you have the correct figure. When you do so, it never hurts to try to haggle with them. Some banks will negotiate the lease-end purchase prices of vehicles. If your initial contact at your bank is not willing to lower your vehicle's purchase price, you may have better luck if you work your way up the ladder to a manager. There is a good chance that they will not lower your vehicle's price, more often than not they will not, but you don't have anything to lose by asking.
 
As I said earlier, once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values".
 
If your vehicle's purchase price is less than or similar to its current value on the open market then you may want to consider buying it. If not, walk away.
 
Good luck and let us know if you have any other questions and how everything turns out.

Hi Car_man,
I just recently signed up to the forum and was looking into escapes. Can you please provide the March residual and money factor data as well as incentives/rebates for a 2010 Escape Limited AWD and also the same for the XLT AWD? I live in MA.
 
Thank you!

Thanks Car_man. One thing I forgot to mention is I'm going for a 12k/yr lease or 10,500 if they have it. Do you have the numbers for these? Also, I'm glad you like the user id!
