#86 of 120 2008 Expedition Limited by gonecruzan Sep 21, 2007 (4:23 am)
Hey Carman, I'm back. My lease of my '06 EB Explorer is up in Nov. and I am ready to move on. I am looking to go a little bigger as I am 6'2 and the explorer is not as big as I would like it to be. Soooo, that being said. I am looking at 2008 Expedition Limited 4x4 with 2 options only. Navigation and rear bucket seating. The total MSRP is $44.670 with a Dealer invoice of $41,106. I am looking to lease this with 10k miles a year allowance. Now my question is this. On my explorer, I only have 14k when my allowance was 21k. Can I use any of that towards the deal? Thank you for your time carman. This forum is great! Replies to this message: Car_man (Nov 08, 2007 2:20 am)

Replying to: antnec (Sep 11, 2007 7:14 pm) Hi Anthony. The truck that you described probably has a spread of around $4,700 to $4,800 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. In addition to this spread, Ford is currently providing $1,000 bonus cash and $500 lease cash ($1,500 total) on it. This gives you a total of over $6,000 to play with in your negotiations. If I was in the market for this truck, I personally would want a larger discount than the $3,600 that you were quoted. I would shoot for a discount of at least $5,000.   The lease rate that you were quoted for this truck looks about right to me. Vehicles' residual values are always calculated as a percentage of their full MSRPs. The acquisition fee is OK as well. Ford Credit charges a $595 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases.   I have never personally leased a vehicle through Ford Credit, but I have never seen anyone complain about them being unusually strict when evaluating vehicles for excess wear and teat at lease-end. I have found that most manufacturers' captive finance companies are very reasonable when evaluating the lease-end condition of vehicles. If I was leasing this truck, I personally would pass on any additional excess wear and tear coverage.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: rob052067 (Sep 13, 2007 9:17 am) Hey rob052067. The options that a vehicle is equipped with have not impact upon Ford Credit's residual values. The only things that have affect the residual value are trim level and whether the truck that you want is 2WD or 4WD.   I believe that 10,500 miles per year is Ford Credit's lowest mileage option.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum Replies to this message: rob052067 (Nov 16, 2007 2:37 pm) Car_man (Dec 27, 2007 2:21 am)

Replying to: macsnjets (Sep 16, 2007 7:27 am) Hi macsnjets. Let's work up a lease payment on this truck and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 Ford Expedition XLT 4WD that has an MSRP of $39,875 and a selling price of $34,500 through Ford Credit right now for 39 months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $465. As you can see, this is pretty close to the payment that you came up with yourself.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: gonecruzan (Sep 21, 2007 4:23 am) I'm glad that you enjoy this forum so much, gonecruzan. Unfortunately, chances are that you will not be able to take advantage of the fact that you are way under your Explorer's mileage limit. In order to do so, it much be worth significantly more on the open market than your purchase option for it. This is usually not the case, especially with domestic vehicles. If it was, you could trade it in or purchase it and sell it privately.   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 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 you believe that your Explorer is worth significantly more than it would cost you to purchase it, then you might want to consider trying to profit from its low mileage. If not, then just walk away at the end of your lease.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: dylcon (Oct 13, 2007 5:38 pm) Hi dylcon. Let's see just how much going with a 39 month lease instead of 36 months will lower this truck's monthly payment. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 Ford Expedition Limited 2WD that has an MSRP of $46,265 and a selling price of $40,681 through Ford Credit right now for 36 months with 10,500 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $561. The payment for an otherwise identical 39 month lease would be around $553. So it looks like you're looking at a savings of only $8 per month.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
