Hi brak. Consumers usually lose money by trying to get out of their leased vehicles before the scheduled ends of their deals. If I was in your situation, I personally would wait until July or August to lease a new vehicle. While I don't know the specifics of your current lease, I suspect that Ford's lease program on the Fusion would have to get substantially worse (which I find highly unlikely) for you to com out ahead by leasing now.
 
Ford's lease program for this car varies depending upon what part of the country you are in. If you tell me the name of your home state, I'd be happy to give you an idea of what this car's current lease program is like.

Thanks for the quick response....
I am in Houston Texas. I wonder if I could order a 2007 to arrive in August. If leasing, can you order a car?
Can you haggle when ordering or only on cars on the lot?
I am also looking at a Saturn ION...(see post under Saturn Lease) Both dealers said then could buy out my lease (two payments left) and either apply any equity or roll balance to new vehicle lease. My truck lease is 24 month Red Carpet option so I can walk away....I am at 21K miles with allowable 24k.

You're welcome, brak. Consumers can lease ordered vehicles, however I do not believe that Ford Credit has published a lease program yet. As a result, it is impossible to say exactly how much this car will cost to lease. The dealer that you place your order with won't even know until the 2007 Focus begins to arrive at dealers. You should still be able to negotiate the selling price of an ordered vehicle, but you probably will not be able to get as good a deal on an ordered car than you will be able to get that a dealer already has in stock. This is because dealers would rather seal the deal and take consumers off the market right away rather than place an order for them and possibly have it fall through. Also, dealers are paying floorplan interest on their current inventory and want to sell any vehicles that they have in stock as quickly as possible.

Fusion SEL 6 cylinder lease by ocrx66
May 23, 2006 (3:00 pm)

Hi Carman:
 
I have narrowed my vehicle down to a Ford Fusion 6 cylinder SEL and I have a couple questions. I will be leasing thru FMC with an x plan and this is what the dealer has told me re: residuals and the money factors in the 44116 zip code:
 
24 months: 60% residual 12k per year
            58% residual 15k per year
            3% m.f. on both;
 
36 months: 51% residual 12k per year
            49% residual 15k per year
            3.25% m.f. on both.
 
1) Are the quoted numbers re: the above as given by the dealer accurate? 2) Is there any maunufacturer to dealer incentives, in adddition to the $1000.00 customer cash available.
 
Even though I can get with an x-plan the dealer sounds like he wants to pick up the last couple of pymnts. on my current lease so it makes me believe there may be a direct incentive from FMC directly to the dealer that is not readily published. Its also the end of the month and I suspect they are trying to make quota. Any infor. you could provide would be deeply appreciated as i want to get this done within the next couple of days.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

Lincoln Zephyr Lease - How did I do? by rj123456
Jun 01, 2006 (5:05 pm)
Reply
First-time ever lessee, did I do ok?
 
I leased a blue Zephyr late on Memorial Day with the following options:
* HID lights
* THX
* Chrome wheels
* Cooled seats
  
MSRP including destination charge ~ $32,540
Cap cost ~ $26,288
Residual ~ $16,270
Payments including 8.25% CA tax for 39 months: ~$293.
 
10,500 miles per year, with 25 cents/miles beyond that. I've averaged less than 8K/year on my previous car so I should be ok with the mileage cap.

Hi ocrx66. The lease rates that you were quoted for this car are right in line with Ford Credit's current base lease program for it. I don't believe that Ford is providing any cash incentives on the '06 Fusion, other than the $1,000 bonus cash.
