Wouldn't you be better of waiting a amonth or so and try to get an 08..better yet order an 08 so it may come closer to the end of your current leaseand most important with what you really want?....Ford has a forgives plan right now until the end of August for 3 months of lease payments...unless your lease is with other mnfctrer...good luck....too bad you don't have a x plan id number becuas eif you did you will not pay for anything extra like doc fees etc...

You don't have to have an X-Plan pin number. You just have to find an honest dealer that will not try to screw you. Or more likely, find a dealer who isn't honest and tell him you aren't paying all those stupid fees.

Svofan...I do have X-plan. The selling price is the X-plan price. My current lease is with Chrysler, so the forgiveness wont work. Do you have something that says that if you are x-plan you do not have to pay doc fees?? I would love to have that go away.
As for the '08, I will be out of my lease before the '08s come out. Right now there are rebates that I'm sure wont be available on the early '08s as well as the lease money rates.

I don't know if I can say this any more clearly, but I will try. Your dealer is trying to screw you. All those fees are made up. Only the acquisition fee is legitimate. YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY ANY OF THEM. Get a backbone and say "I AM NOT GOING TO PAY ANY OF THOSE FEES." If they don't go for it go somewhere that will. Also, as I said earlier, to be getting only X-Plan as the "sale" price is OUTRAGEOUS. You can get X-Plan the day the vehicle arrives. They need to come WAY down on that price. If they do not, GO SOMEWHERE THAT WILL. I have bought 6 Ford vehicles and never, ever, ever, even came close to only getting X-Plan. That is the only reason to buy a Ford is that you can get HUGE discounts. It's AUGUST. They have to start making room for the new 2008 models. They are suckering you. At least call some other dealers and tell them about the deal this dealer is offering you. ANY dealer you call will be able to beat it EASILY because it is a terrible deal.
The reason I know this is because 4 MONTHS AGO I leased an Edge SEL+ Vista, Chrome, reverse sensing, MSRP $32,690 for 36 months with ZERO DOWN, only first payment due at signing FOR $349 PER MONTH tax included. It is possible!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the deal you are being offered is the best the dealer will do, and other dealers are not willing to do better, then I would ask a number of dealers in your area if they would order a 2008 Edge per your specifications, without you being bound to buy it. What you want is a popular model/options/color combo, so it would not be hard to sell if you don't lease it. You could then see what interest rates, etc. will be available when it comes in. You could extend your current lease by a month or two without any problem to give you breathing room and take the urgency out of your situation. My Magnum lease ends in Oct. and I still don't know what I am going to do. My dealer has offered to order any models I want just like I want them, and then I can pick which one I want to lease. I am also looking at 2007 leftovers in larger SUV's since they are having huge lease cash and bonus cash added right now. I love the Edge/MKX, but also like the MKZ, Aspen, Durango, and Expedition. It is great having so many choices. The Edge has had cheap lease interest rates for months, so my guess is that that will continue for the 2008 models. Ususally no later than December the great deals will start being offered on the 2008's. If you must act now, you might try to find out what dealer the Edge you want is located at and contact them directly to see what kind of deal they will give you. Good luck and keep us posted!

chuck68516 - Your entry on August 5, stated you leased Ford Edge four months ago for what appears to be a great deal. I'm currently working out the details of a lease.........is it possible to get a lead on the state and/or possible dealerships that offered you such a deal?
Or anyone else for that matter....

The dealer's name is Woodhouse Ford in Blair, Ne. Just outside of Omaha. They sell cars all over the U.S. becuase they can beat almost any deal. I think the salesman said they sold around 27,000 cars to EVERY state in the U.S. in 2005.
My brother just bought a 2007 Chrysler from them and they didn't have what he wanted on the lot so they had to get one from Illinois. They drove 300 miles to his house to let him use one of their new Dodge Calibers as a rental car until his car could be transported to the lot (about 10 days). Then they still beat his local dealer's best price by $1200. They are amazing. I will be leasing/buying from them forever.

In some states/cities it can be a benefit.
I'm in Northern Virginia. In Virginia, Ford state-averages the property tax and you pay an average of all the counties. If you live in a high-cost area, such as Fairfax, it can be a benefit.
Ford may do this in other states but I'm not sure.

Picked up a 2007 Edge SEL Plus AWD in Light Sage. ALL options except for the BAMR (I'm 6'4" tall, and the mechanics take up too much headroom...):
Sticker Price: $35,455.
Sale Price: $33,991 ($500 over Invoice).
Down Payment: $7700
Rebate: $1250
36 months/10.5k miles.
Residual Rate: 53%
Residual: $18796.45.
Monthly Payment: $324.52. Includes all taxes, fee's and property tax payments.
I know that's a large down payment but folks, I've done the $450 to $500 payment thing and I was on pins and needles the entire contract. I'm just not going to do that to myself any more. It's a comfort thing

My dealer is having a real hard time locating the combo that I want. I have compromised on the FWD vs AWD, now I am not going to get my 1st or 2nd choice of colors. At this point I may be better off extending my current lease and order an '08. I'm assuming that I will loose the incentive cash but does anyone have any ideas of what the residuals and money factors will look like. If I order what I really want, it will definately lower the MSRP but if I lose the $1750 and the good money factor, it may end up costing me more. Any ideas??
