If I still have the story correct, 24 month lease, 15K miles per year=42% of your best negotiated price (would include deductions for rebates, customer loyality-if there is any or any coupons you might have) AND you would probably be subjected to the "SMART BUY PRICE". The buy out (residual) is based on 58% of the sticker (MSRP). All this from a Minnesotan who just quit leasing for now. New cars are fun but the prices are out of control. I've leased for 10 years but am out for now.....

Hi nwulf. You definitely should not involve your dealer in your decision about what to do with your truck at lease-end if at all possible. This matter is completely between you and the bank that you are leasing your Explorer through, which is most likely Ford Credit. Dealers certainly don't want you to buy your leased vehicle or to extend your lease. They don't make any money off of you doing either of these things, but they do make money if you purchase or lease another vehicle from them. Place a call directly to Ford Credit and see if they will be willing to negotiate your truck's lease-end purchase price. There is a chance that they will. Even if they won't I suspect that they will at least let you extend your current deal for another couple of months.

Hi jcat707. Yes, I believe that Ford's lease rate and residual value for the 2006 Explorer are exactly the same in December as they were in November.

Hi cwakefield. I've seen Ford's January lease program for the 2006 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer and I would be happy to give you an idea of what it is like. I am going to have to make some assumptions though because you never told me if you want 2WD or 4WD, how long you want to lease for, or how many miles per year you need to be able to drive. For now, I will assume that you want to lease a 4WD for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year. Using these assumptions, this truck's base lease rate and residual value should be 3.75% and 49%, respectively. When negotiating the selling price of this truck, make sure to take the $3,000 total in cash incentives that is available on leases of it in most areas right now into account.

I was just curious, is there a difference in lease rates and residual values between 2WD and 4WD models? I don't want the actual values, I was just wondering in general.

Thanks for the info. I am interested in an EB 2WD for 39 months 15,000 miles. I was aware of the $2000 rebate that shows up in consumer reports but I did not know about an additional $1000. We are located in Georgia. Where does this $1000 come from? What are the residual and money factor for January for the above and for a 36 month 15,000. I'm not in a rush... would it be better to wait and buy this car in February or March when there may be better deals? I always heard the best time to buy a car is in March when many companies have their year end.
Thanks for your info!!!!

What's a decent credit score to have in order to get a good deal on a 2006 Ford Explorer Limited? What credit reporting companies does Ford use?

Car_man,
We are interested in leasing this month a EB 2WD for 36 or 39 months - 15,000 miles. Do you know what the rebates are for Febuary? Also interested in what the residuals and the money factors are for
36-15,000
39 - 15,000
and 12/15,000
Really need to do it this month but could hold out till March if there are better incentives coming that you know of.
Thanks for your info
