#282 of 393 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 393 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.

#291 of 393 2013 Ford Fusion lease details by chad75

Jun 09, 2012 (3:28 pm)

Even though the new 2013 Ford Fusion is not yet available, is it possible to acquire lease details for the vehicle, particularly the residual value and money factor details? We plan to lease a 2013 Fusion SE 1.6L EcoBoost 6-speed manual (10k or 12k miles per year) for 36 months (or 48, depending on the deal).
 
While we are on the subject of new Fusion, is it better to wait until the car has been on the market for a bit before jumping at a lease (to get the best deals), or does Ford often offer great deals when new cars are first introduced? My wife and I have owned 19 cars between the two of us, but neither of us has ever leased a car!
 
Thank you!
