Sure torotoro. Ford Credit's January base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Fusion SEL V6 FWD with 10,000 miles per year in its New York region are 1.5% and 56%.
 
Ford is currently providing a $1,250 cash incentive on leases of this car in your area right now. Make sure to take that cash into account when negotiating the capitalized cost for your lease.

#282 of 400 2012 Ford Fushion SEL by davidga12

Feb 02, 2012 (7:23 am)

Hello,
 
Can you please estimate a 24 month lease payment for a 2012 Fusion SEL V6 FWD with 10,000 miles per year? A 27 month lease was mentioned (by the dealership) as well but I wouldn't think that would make a huge difference in payment.
 
Xplan price is $27,279 (MSRP = $28,995) and Ford is currently providing a $1,250 cash incentive on leases in the Southeast (GA). They gave me a price of $444 and when I questioned that it went down dramatically to $326. Now I'm not sure what to believe. I was only planning to put down the first month's payment.
 
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi davidga12. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2012 Fusion SEL V6 FWD that has MSRP of $28,995 and a selling price of 26,029 through Ford Credit right now for 24-months with 10,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $309. Once sales tax is added in, the $326 payment is probably pretty close to being right.
 
It's pretty bad for a dealer to mark-up an X-Plan deal like they were trying to on you. If this had happened to me, I might consider taking my business to a different Ford dealer.

Thank you Car_man! I did end of going to a different dealership and they gave me $1500 more for my trade which I used for a down payment.
 
24 month lease for 2012 SEL V6 with Moon &Tune plus rear spoiler is $297 including taxes (6%). I'm pretty happy with that.
 
Thanks again for your advice.

#288 of 400 2012 Fusion SEL Lease by xfinityguy

I was approved for a Tier 1 Ford Motor Credit lease. I first looked at a Ford Fusion SE with Sun and Sync Package as this is what they were advertising on TV. With a 10,500 mile lease on 24 months, my payment would be 192.94 (w tax) and $2740.72 Down due at signing including first month payment. I get Xplan pricing with my work and they told me this is the absolute best deal I can get. The residual is $15790.95 which is 63%.
 
The second option to my surprise was to lease an SEL (fully loaded w/o appearance pack) model Fusion for 194.96 for 24 months with a residual of $18,851.20. 62%. Same down payment. I am trying to understand with Xplan pricing if this is a good deal on either of these. I would like a 12,000 mile lease, but it will be roughly be about $12 a month they said would take my payment to $208. I have to bring the car back tomorrow and make a decision. I was going to ask them to split the difference on the mileage extra so I could stay at $199. The residual seems high on these but I will probably turn the car in because I will be upside down at the lease turn in. What are anybodys thoughts on these? Should I go for it with the xplan or am I getting taken? Please help. I am a first time lease customer. Also, the manager said the xplan was $125-150 above invoice and I am getting the "best deal anybody can get". Thanks.

I recently looked at leasing for the first time. With the Z plan and 10,500 annually 24 month lease on a Fusion Sport list 31,690, the payment with taxes was 294 with 0 down. This was two weeks ago. The residual is high, which surprised me due to the model change. I would think that it would have been lower than that. I live in Nashville, Tennessee which has a 7% state tax and $100 max local tax. They are advertising a package which they call the moon and tune package in Detroit on an SEL that would probably be a little less than that. Your 2740 due at signing adds another 114 per month charge when spread out.
