Hello, anyone know the lease infomation?? Thank you!
 
I'm looking at leasing a Fusion SE 4 cyl with automatic & Sport pkg. MSRP is $19,800. Can you give me the lease numbers for 3yr/12k for Mass and NH? What kind of discounts are on the cars?

I can't give you the lease # but I can give you dealer invoice on the car and package..
 
Dealer invoice on a SE w/ 4cyl is $16,525 and Sport package is $370. Now do not forget that the dealer profit on the car is 7% of MSRP on the sticker which is $1224.65 Remember this.... Dealers are hurting so Negoatate the LOWEST price for a lease, now that I have given you this infomation you have a good idea on the price...

Hi Car Man,
I live in Florida and am new to the leasing thing. I was interseted in the Mercury Milan I-4 automatic. Mercury is running a lease special for 39 months, 0 money down, 0 security, and 0 first month's payment. The payment is $257 a month. The residual value is 44% or $9117 and the rate was 1.5%. The MSRP is 19,820. Is this a good deal? What other questions should I ask the dealer?
Thanks,
Lisad3

Milan V6 Premier NYC Lease - Did I get ripped off? by dlang

In Jan 2006 I leased a fully loaded 2006 Milan Premier for $337/month, 36 months, 12K miles. This "no $ down" lease required I pay around $850 "bank" and other charges upfront. This was the lowest lease price I found, other dealers wanted about $400/month. Total cost over 3 years is about $12,500 so ~$350/month.

Milan lease question by ivydlsk

I am a college student fixing to buy my first car. I am looking at a 3yr lease on a '06 Milan. I will put more than 15,000 miles a yr on the car, but my intention is to purchase at the end of the lease. I am actively saving so that at the time of the lease end, I will be able to put in the neighborhood of 5,000.00 toward the remainder and then finance the rest.......which should leave me around 5,000.00 to have to finance.
 
Is this a good idea......am I looking at it the right way? It is my understanding with the RCL with the intent to purchase, the mileage doesn't hurt you.
 
Also, I was planning to put 1,000.00 down at the start ...is that a good idea or would that money be better used at the end of the lease?

Here's the information that you're looking for, vwvw1. 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 2006 Fusion SE with 12,000 miles per year are 3.5% and 50%, respectively in your area. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $1,000 lease cash that Ford is currently providing on it. If you are not completely sold on leasing, you may be interested in a new promotion that Ford is launching tomorrow. It is going to provide 0% financing for up to 6 years on all 2006 models. This is a very compelling offer. Check out the following discussion for informaiton on how much you should pay for this model right now: "Ford Fusion: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".

Hi scape2. Lease payments are comprised of two main parts, the interest portion and the depreciation portion. All vehicles depreciate, regardless of how you pay for them. With leases, consumers are just paying for their vehicles' depreciation as they go along instead of taking the hit all at one time like they would if they had purchased and then sold their vehicle. Consumers who enjoy driving a new vehicle every couple of years can theoretically come out the same by leasing a car or by financing / paying cash for the same vehicle and selling it after the same period of time. In fact, some models, especially many luxury vehicles like BMWs, have lease support but no other special promotions available on them. In these instances, it would be silly NOT to lease. One can save thousands of dollars by taking advantage of the special interest rates and inflated residual values that BMW is providing. The bottom line is that it varies depending upon the deals that are available, but leasing is often a very attractive way to finance a new vehicle.

Hi chee2. The recent college graduate incentive that you mentioned is completely paid for by Ford and has nothing to do with your dealer. If you were able to combine it with the X-Plan I suspect that the dealer would allow you to do so. I know that the X-Plan is compatible with most normal cash incentives, like customer cash, Ford Credit bonuses, etc... but it is possible that the college grad promotion and the X-Plan are not compatible.
 
Something seems strange about the selling price that you were quoted for the Fusion that you are interested in. Ford is currently providing $1,000 lease cash on it that you are automatically entitled to, on top of the X-Plan discount yet the price that you were quoted is only $850 below MSRP. This is not right. Make sure that this dealer quotes you the correct price for this car or find a different one to work with.
 
On a related note, if you are not completely sold on leasing, tomorrow Ford is introducing 0% financing for up to 6 years on all 2006 models, including the Fusion. This is a very attractive offer that I personally would probably take advantage of if I was in the market for this car.
 
I haven't done any calculations, but I suspect that the Nissan Altima has a more attractive lease program than the Ford Fusion right now. Nissan does have an advertised lease for the Altima on its Web site. You must have just checked it before its promotions were updated for this month. Here is a link to its current advertised lease page: Nissan Advertised Leases.

Welcome Lisad3. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
Mercury is running a very attractive lease promotion on the 2006 Milan this month. The advertised lease that you saw for this car is a pretty good deal. Keep in mind though that like with most manufacturers' advertised leases I suspect that there is a little meat left on the bone with this offer. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were financing or paying cash for them. While manufacturers' advertised leases usually include some sort of discount off of full MSRP, they often leave a little room to negotiate. This makes sense if one thinks about it. Dealers would be pretty annoyed if their manufacturer advertised the thinnest possible deal on a car or truck. Negotiate the lowest possible selling price than you can and then have the dealer that you are working with calculate your car's payment using the special lease program. On a related note, Ford is introducing 0% financing for up to 6 years on all 2006 Mercury models tomorrow. You may want to consider taking advantage of this attractive offer instead of leasing.
