V6 coupe balloon/lease by gtucker4

Hey CarMan,
 
I'm looking at leasing/ballooning a Mustang V6 right now. I'm in Little Rock, AR, but I've got an address in South Carolina I would use to register the car, because they get an extra $995 in customer cash. I'm going to switch the tags over after registration is complete, so for now, I'll use 29118 as the zip to do the deal. I'm only looking to keep the vehicle for 24 months, until the 2010 model comes out. I'm currently balloon financing both mine and my wife's 2006 Honda Accords, due to the tax laws regarding leasing here in AR. I've already negociated the price of the new cars down to the point where the negative equity added would still make the total sale price of the new cars less than the payoffs of both Hondas, so I'm thinking I should be able to get a manageable payment, but I know that depends on rates and money factors. Another site lists the V6 coupe as having a 63% ALG residual for 24 months, and 52% for 36 months. Total price for the one I'm trading for my use will be $22,025 with all rebates factored in, as well as what I'm upside down in the Honda for. The payoff for 30 Apr 07 on the Honda is $22,090 and I have exactly 23 payments on it totalling $8446 until the balloon is due, which I have no intentions on paying. I'm wondering what my payments would be like on a 24 month balloon or lease, and I'm also curious about the 36 month term as well. The dealership kept asking me who I was financed through for my Hondas, guess they were trying to get an idea about my credit rating. AHFC all the way, and I didn't think the 5.14% is that bad, considering I didn't even have a job at the time, because I had just come back from overseas a few months prior to that. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Carman,
I am contemplating a lease end of the month for a 07 GT. I was wondering if the MF and Residual have/will changed from April's 6.5%, 57%. Any ideas?
 
Thanks.

Hey gtucker4. I do not personally keep tabs on manufacturers' balloon note programs, but I would be happy to give you an idea of what Ford's current lease program for this car is like. Ford's lease program for the Mustang varies by trim level. A base 2007 Mustang Coupe's current 24 month, 15,000 mile per year base lease rate and residual value are 7.25% and 62%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 6.5% and 51%. If you provide me with the full MSRP and selling price of the car that you are interested in, I will be happy to use the above lease programs to estimate what your monthly payment should be.

Here's the latest info, gforce11. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Ford Mustang GT Coupe with 15,000 miles per year are 6.5% and 55%, respectively. Its 12,000 mile per year residual value is 2% higher.

Thanks Car_Man, I was wondering if I'd ever hear back from ya... The most expensive one I'm looking at is $24,420 after taking all rebates and negative equity into account. I don't plan on putting any money down unless I have to, so you can work the numbers with $0 down. Please let me know how each $1000 down would affect the monthly payment at 24 and 36 months, I'm just curious to know how things would change. Thanks again!

Thanks Carman! So far, the Ford folks have not been jerking me around on the MF and the residual. However, I was wondering if anyone knew whether the rebates applies to the leases ($1995 or $1645). I was told that the $1000 cash back doesn't apply to leases. But the $645 (or $995) does. Anyone have any ideas whether this is true?

No problem, gtucker4. Is $24,420 this car's MSRP or selling price? I need both to estimate what its lease payment should be.

You're very welcome, gforce11. What you were told is correct. The $1,000 customer cash that Ford is providing on the 2007 Mustang is not available on leases of it through Ford Credit, but the $995 and $645 bonus cash is.

Car_man - I am stuck. I have been looking at 2007 Mustang Convertible with a V6, but after looking at the numbers from May it looks like leasing a GT might be about the same price. Are the rates (money factors and residuals) still the same in August?

Hi toto88. Ford's lease program for the Mustang is definitely different now than it was back in May. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Mustang Convertible V6 with 12,000 miles per year are 7.25% and 56%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '07 Mustang Convertible GT are 7.25% and 58%.
