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.

How's this one look ? by trucklarry

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??

I'm not sure how much your property taxes are but unless they are $120 per month, you got taken on this deal. Your payment pre-property tax, should have been about $200 per month including sales tax. Your base payment before rent charge should be about $175 per month.
 
You're right about your $7700 down payment being "large" but it is also not a very good idea. If you're car were to be totalled tomorrow, you would be out that $7700. The insurance company will not reimburse you for your down payment. Drive extremely defensively for the next 36 months. What fees or other charges did they put in the lease? Wear Care? Undercoat? Etc.

Can you break this down for me? I don't see how $200 a month figures... That's only $7200 in payments, not including any taxes at all.

Consider expanding out your search area. Like I said in a previous post, my dealer sells cars to every state in the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii. I'm not saying they are necessarily the answer but if you have driven the Edge and know what options you want on it any dealer should be able to easily locate an Edge and you could lease it over the phone/internet. Your dealer probably just wants you to buy the one sitting on their lot. They most likely aren't even trying to look for an Edge elsewhere.
 
What options and colors do you want? I'm sure we would all be happy to look/search around for you.

You said the sales price was $33,991
Rebates $ 1,250
Down Payment $ 7,700
 
Base payment
(pre-rent charge,taxes) $25,041 minus residual of $18796.45 equals $6244.55 divided by term (36) = $173.46 BASE PAYMENT PER MONTH.
 
I don't know your rent charge or sales tax or property tax but my base payment on my lease of ZERO DOWN, 36 month, 10,500 miles per year on MSRP $32,690 was $326.17 and my sales tax was $22.83 with a total payment of $349.
 
So with the limited info you gave I am estimating your monthly payment should be under $200. AGAIN, DEPENDING ON YOUR PROPERTY TAX. But there is no way your property tax is $120 per month.

My dealer does not have any Edges on his lot. I have checked other local dealers and nothing to be found. I have seen the invoices that the dealer has found so far and we cannot find a match or the other dealer is not willing to give it up. My ideal Edge would be a Creme Bruelle FWD with BAMR, Sirius, and reverse sensing. I have compromised up to the AWD. I am ok with a few other colors but the Creme is my first choice. One of the reasons that I want to use this dealer/salesman is the proximaty to my home/office and it is also the same dealership that I am returning my current lease to. I need for them to overlook a few minor issues with my current car. I dont think I will have any leverage if I do not purchase my next car from them.

Bottom line...
 
You leased approx $6200 over 36 payments
I leases approx $11,800 over 36 payments
 
Yet your payment is only about $25 less than mine. Even though I "financed" almost twice as much as you did. Hence, your payment should be around half of what mine was as described in my previous post.
