Ford may have lost me as a customer. My lease on an F-150 comes up in December. In looking at the early bird wherebywhich Ford pays the final 3 payments and gets me into another lease, their number they came back with was over $600.00 a month. I said WHAT!!!!!! It was a 2006 F150 that was a 10,500/ year miles. I had put on a whopping 13,000. I proceeded to tell them I could buy a new one cheaper than that. After fanagling and talking with other Ford dealerships, I have come to realize that all car companies are crooks unless you do your Homework. I liked the 150. My payments were 307.00 / month for the past 2 years. As If I want to get into a new truck and pay 600.00 for the next 3 months and after. I think not. Ford always claims that they offer best price. Its a bunch of Dog doo doo. I'm into a 2006 Jeep Commander for 315.00. Sorry Ford. You had your chance and you blew it. I'm also a DJ and will let everyone know that's in my audience.

#108 of 207 Residual Value by dluia

Sep 30, 2007 (11:17 am)

I don't understand the numbers used in previous posts regarding 1% and 54% for example. Is this payment percentage based on negotiated purchase price and buyout percentage (residual) based on MSRP?
 
Can you provide percentage figures and current incentives on 07 F150 SuperCrew 4WD XLT or better 24/15K MSRP 36700 ZIP CODE 52601
 
Will they negotiate a buyout value?
Thanks Dana

#110 of 207 Early lease turn in program by carbuyer34

I currently lease a 2006 f 150 supercrew xlt 4x4 I pay 292.00 and paid $2000.00 up front for 24 months 10,500 miles a year the lease is up in april 2008.
 
I would like to lease the same vehicle which Berlin city has listed for $28,999.00 which includes the 2500.00 consumer rebate the msrp is $35,670.00 I would want to lease this vehicle for 24 months. Can someone explain the ford early bird lease program to me and figure out what the new lease would cost? I know its easier too just call the dealer but i like to be informed as much as possible before talking too any salepeople thanks! Oh i live in NY if that helps..

#111 of 207 F150 SuperCrew Lease 2008 by vcopell

Jan 04, 2008 (3:09 pm)

Dear Car Man:
 
I am looking to buy F-150 SuperCrew. I am able to negotiate the following:
  
Cap cost - Purchase: $25,400 (after $4100 rebate)
(If they give me loan, it would be at 4.9% but I have to give up $1,500 in rebate)
 
CAP Cost - Lease: $26,900 with rebate.
Zip Code: 75006 (Dallas Texas)
  
I want to talk Lease Option with them for 3 yr with 45,000 miles. My credit is Excellent.
 
1: What are the MF and other costs that I should be worried about? They did say that the lease would be calculated at 4.75%. Is that equivalent to MF = 4.75% / 2400 = 0.001979?
 
2: What is the residual for this car?
 
3: What other things should I be careful about?
  
Can you please guide me here?
 
Also, if there are other pick-up trucks, I rather entertain instead of this, please suggest.
  
Thanks, vick

Hi carbuyer34. Ford's "early bird" program lets current Ford Credit lessees of select models out of their contracts a couple of months early for free if they purchase or lease a new Ford division vehicle. Let's crunch some numbers and what the lease payment would be like on a new truck. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 Ford F-150 Super Crew XLT 4WD that has an MSRP of $35,670 and a selling price of $28,999 through Ford Credit right now for 24 months with 10,500 miles per year its zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $462. I used a lease rate of 3.5% and a residual value of 55% to arrive at this monthly payment.

Hi Vick. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Ford F-150 Super Crew 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are 3.5% and 52%, respectively. As you can see, Ford Credit publishes lease rates instead of money factors for vehicles. You can convert its published rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. So a lease rate of 3.5% would be equivalent to a money factor of around .00146.
 
The most important thing to negotiate on a lease is your vehicle's selling price. You shouldn't have any trouble getting this truck for close to dealer invoice and then have the dealer subtract any available cash incentives from that. You can look up the exact invoice price of your truck by visiting the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.

Hey Vick. According to the latest information that I have seen, Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Ford F-150 Super Crew 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are 3.5% and 52%, respectively. A lease rate of 3.5% is equivalent to a money factor of .00146 (3.5 / 2400).
 
If you're looking for suggestions about what large pickup to get, you should also check out the Toyota Tundra (I see that you are already looking at it) and the Chevrolet Silverado / GMC Sierra. These two trucks are probably the best vehicles in this segment right now.
 
The residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4WD with 15,000 miles per year is 56%. The problem is that unlike most banks, including Ford Credit, which allow lessees to residualize all factory installed options, Toyota Financial Services places restrictions upon which options can be residualized making it difficult to calculate vehicles' dollar residual values. It's so difficult that Toyota provides dealers with a list of dollar residual values for the vehicles that they have in stock rather than having them calculate them themsevles using the percentages.
