Replying to: Car_man (Dec 04, 2006 3:12 am) I went to a dealer near Charlotte, who is willing to deliver a 2007 Freestyle AWD Limited with Nav, Sunroof and back up, etc (all options) for $30,095. I guess this is a good deal, considering the prices which are being quoted here.
#53 of 81 Current Lease rates by peetert Apr 17, 2007 (9:01 am)
We are looking at the Freestyle as a replacement for our current Windstar. I am currently trying to figure out if we can afford to "extend" payments for a car, or just wait a bit. We ahve always bought, but in retrospect, leasing may have been the way to go for the last couple of purchases.   Anyway, a nice Limited AWD caught my wife's eye. The dealer we went to only had 2 Freestyles in stock (an SEL and a Limited). I am eligble for the X-Plan so we are looking at around invoice pricing. What are current rates for the Limited and SEL (we will be looking at AWD versions) for both 24 and 36 mos with 15k miles per year (we've been doing around 13.5k on the Windstar)   Thanks   Peeter Replies to this message: Car_man (May 07, 2007 2:39 am)

Replying to: peetert (Apr 17, 2007 9:01 am) Hi Peeter. It's great that you are able to lease the Freestyle that you are interested in through Ford's X-Plan. It guarantees that you will get an attractive selling price without having to haggle. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Ford Freestyle SEL AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .75% and 53%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 2.5% and 44%. The numbers for a 24 month, 15k lease of an '07 Freestyle Limited AWD are .75% and 54%. Its 36 month numbers are 2.5% and 45%.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Hey all,   I'm in the Los Angeles, Cal. area and I'm considering buying the ad car from a local dealer.   The car is as follows   It's a FWD SEL. 2007 MODEL YEAR BLACK CLEARCOAT   LIGHT GUNMETAL ACCENT, SHALE LEATHER SEATING, 3.0L 4V V6 DURATEC ENGINE, CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE TRANS, P215/65R17 BSW TIRES, INTERIOR CONVENIENCE GROUP, AM/FM/CDX6 MP3 RADIO, AUTO HEADLAMP ON/OFF DELAY, DUAL ZONE AUTO CLIMATE CONTROL, AUX CLIMATE CONTROL W/HEAT, INTERIOR POWER PACKAGE, POWER DRIVER SEAT RECLINER, PASSENGER POWER SEAT RECLINER, PASSENGER POWER SEAT, NON-MEMORY ADJUSTABLE PEDALS, CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS SYSTEM, 50/50 3RD ROW SPLIT SEAT, 60/40 SPLIT 3-PASS 2ND ROW, SIRIUS SAT RADIO W/6 MOS SVC, REVERSE SENSING SYSTEM, LEATHER SEATING.   PERSONAL SAFETY SYSTEM   .

TWO TONE CLADDING   . COLOR KEYED DOOR HANDLES   . CHROME GRILLE SURROUND   . KEYLESS ENTRY KEYPAD   . ROOF SIDE RAILS   . POWER MIRRORS, FOLDABLE   The MSRP is $28, 870.00. I'm trying to find the money factor and the residual value based on both 24/36 month leases with 12k per year. Is the residual 50%? There's a $3,000 rebate and the dealer is offering a fat incentive of their own, so I'm trying to figure out what the payment should be based on a credit score in the high 700s...   Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give!   Josh Replies to this message: quantifire (May 23, 2007 5:06 pm) meandbob (May 23, 2007 7:44 pm) Car_man (Jun 08, 2007 2:04 am)

Replying to: meandbob (May 23, 2007 1:17 pm) Josh: Verify that $3,000 is compatible with a lease, right now the Ford website shows no lease incentives. I think you'll find out from previous posts that a 50% residual is overly optimistic for 36 months, but the MF should be attractve. Let us know how you do, some friends have a 2005 Freestyle and love it, little or no problems (nothing major anyway) Regards, Andrew Replies to this message: meandbob (May 23, 2007 7:44 pm)

Replying to: quantifire (May 23, 2007 5:06 pm) Andrew,   The rebate I'm talking about was found on Edmunds and when I mentioned it to the salesman he knew about it. In reading it it only says that financing must occur through Ford, nothing about whether or not it's a lease. If this is available for me on a lease, I'll save more than 7k. I never mentioned to the dealer I would be leasing, I guess I'll have to contact the dealer to confirm if this rebate can be used on a lease. I wanted a bit more information, money factor, res. value, before telling him I would be leasing so I had all my ducks in a row.   $3000 Cash to Customer start: 05/16/2007 end: 05/31/2007 Restrictions $3000 Customer cash may not be combined with 0.0% APR - 3.9 % APR and vehicle must be financed through the manufacturer's captive finance company.

Replying to: meandbob (May 23, 2007 1:17 pm) Hi meandbob. Here's the information on this truck's lease program that you're interested in. In California, Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Freestyle SEL 2WD with 12,000 miles per year are 0.75% and 55%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 2.5% and 45%. This vehicle's lease payment will vary depending upon what its selling price is. If you provide me with this number I would be happy to calculate what its lease payment should be for you.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
#59 of 81 Freestyle vs Edge by ron48164 Jul 21, 2007 (2:19 am)
Trying the decide between the Freestyle and Edge. Looking at the SEL in move models, but sometimes the next higher model, ever if the MSRP is higher. gives you a better lease deal.   Looking for a 2yr 15000 mile lease. I have Z-plan access. The x-plan site (I have that too) sez there is a $4000 total incentives on the Freestyle and $2000 on the Edge. Suspect this is for buy only.   I'm in the process of moving and can will either lease in Detroit before the move or in Denver after.   Can the car man provide the residual and money factor? Since the freestyle the becoming the Tauras X the lease deal may not be there.

Replying to: ron48164 (Jul 21, 2007 2:19 am) While the Freestyle is a better driving vehicle than the Edge and has more room, at this point i would not buy or lease one. Why? While I own one and like it very much, it has a transmission which is no longer produced (CVT) and for which there will be few technicians who know how to service it. Get the new X. Cost is not everything. Replies to this message: ron48164 (Jul 24, 2007 12:53 am)

Replying to: bruneau1 (Jul 23, 2007 9:18 am) At this point the wife prefers the Edge. She's wanted the Freestyle the past couples of years but we always leased something else due to price.   The Freestyle is hard to find in SE Michigan, there are several in Denver.   I didn't know about the trans. Good reason not to go that route. If I extended the lease or my Explorer for 2 months (way under on mileage) I'll compare the X and the Edge. My salesman friend tells me the lease on the X is high right now.
