A Limited would be nice with tow package, side canopy, and power folding 3rd seat. I can't remember the other options, but those are the top ones. I am fine with a bench second seat (not the captains chairs). Prefer 36 months w/ 15,000 per year. I can use an X plan, but might not need to with some of the prices out there. If you know the XPlan rate for this model, that would be a good place to start. Thank you.
Also, is it worth trying to sell a 2wd in Colorado or should I trade it and let them ship it out of state?

Carman, Any info on the above message? Thanks.

Hey Carman, When you get back, I'm still interested in this info. Not trying to nag, but thought a more current post will show that I'm still looking. Thanks.

So car man I can use the 3500 out of the 4000 as a down payment?

Hi goscfighton. I unfortunately do not know the what the X-Plan price for this truck is. If you provide me with an approximate selling price and the full MSRP of the truck that you are interested in, exactly as you want it equipped, I will be happy to estimate what sort of lease payment it will have right now.
As far as your trade goes, I suspect that there isn't much demand for 2WD trucks in Colorado. You are probably going to take quite a hit on your current vehicle, regardless of whether you trade it in or try to sell it on your own.

Absolutely crookster. You should use the $3,500 cash incentive that I mentioned earlier to reduce your truck's capitalized cost. This is essentially the same thing as making a down payment only it doesn't come out of your pocket.

Carman, Thanks for the reply.
The X-plan price is usualy a few hundred over invoice. I think I can also get the 3,500 incentive. I would think that would be a pretty good price for a lease. I'm not sure if they have any incentive. I can run a lease calculator with leaseguide.com if anyone knows the percentages for 36 months and 15,000 miles. Also the MF would help.
Thanks

I forgot to mention that the trim would be either Eddie Bauer or Limited and 4X4. The numbers on those vehicles would be greatly appreciated.

What about the Navigator they are having 4500 cash back, do you know if you can use some of it as a cap cost reduction?

You're welcome, goscfighton. If you were to lease a 2006 Ford Expedition Limited 4WD through Ford Credit right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.25% and 42%, respectively. The lease rate for an '06 Expedition Eddie Bauer Limited 4WD would be the same, but the residual for this term / mileage allowance would be 43%. As you can see, Ford Credit publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. For March, Ford is providing $2,500 lease cash on this truck in most areas. In addition to this cash, Ford is running a program called "Perfect Match" through which it will match consumers' down payments on deals through Ford Credit. I don't believe that you have to pull $1,000 out of your own pocket to qualify for this incentive though. Supposedly you can use $1,000 of the lease cash to get the matching $1,000.
