Hi stines. How many miles per year does your lease allow? The highest mileage allowance that Ford Credit offers is 19,500 miles per year. So you are likely way over your mileage limit. The only way for consumers who are way over their mileage limit to avoid having to pay a large excess mileage penalty is to buy their vehicle at lease-end.
 
Used vehicle prices are falling at the most rapid pace that I have ever seen. Unfortunately, that means that your Edge's purchase option price is likely much higher than its current real world value. If I was in your position, I personally would place a call directly to Ford Credit a month or two before the scheduled end of my lease to see if they would be willing to negotiate my vehicle's end of term purchase price. When you call, don't mention that you are so far over your mileage limit. There's no guarantee that they will be willing to work with you, more often than not banks won't, but you don't have anything to lose by trying.

Not sure what offers they have in Cal but in the Northeast, dealers are advertising about $8k off SEL trim. I don't see why they can't do that on a limited. Only $4k off MSRP seems weak -- I would fight for more..
Did you build and price the car in Edmunds? This will give you the invoice and average price people are paying..
Good luck.

I ran the numbers through the True Value Pricing thing and it said that the our price is below the average paid in this area. We managed to get the deposit down another $500 for a total of $2000 down, but they won't budge any more on the deal. This was their final offer.

Hey indianajohns. Keep in mind that Ford's lease program often varies by region. The most widely available lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Edge SEL AWD with 10,500 miles per year are 0.50% and 47%, respectively. Ford is not currently offering support on 2 year leases.

Hi elliemaej. I believe that Connecticut is in Ford's New York region. In that area, Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Edge LTD AWD with 12,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 46%, respectively.
 
I only mentioned the 36 month numbers because Ford is no longer providing support on 24 month leases.
 
In addition to this special lease rate, I believe that Ford is currently providing a $1,000 cash incentive on leases of this model in your area. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating the capitalized cost for the Edge that you're interested in.

Thanks CarMan, my lease is not up until Aug but my dealer sent me a postcard that they will take it back 2 payments early. I really like my Edge and would like another one. The residuals and lease rate dont seem as good as when I leased but it could have been because it was so late in the model year.
Now I need to dig out my old lease spreadsheets from my as last least and plug in the new numbers.
Thanks again.

Why to NEVER put money down on a lease by hardhawk
May 15, 2009 (6:43 pm)

What happened to us is a classic example of why one should never put any significant money down on a lease. We put zero down on our 2008 Edge Limited lease in November of 2007. The Edge was flawless and we really liked everything about it. Late last month we had a house fire and the Edge was in the garage, going up in flames. Had we made a down payment in order to reduce the monthly payments, we would have lost that money when the Edge was destroyed and our insurance would have had to pay less. As it is, our insurance is "buying" the Edge and thus the lease is paid off and we will have payment from the company for sales tax and registration fees. Zero out of pocket costs plus no lost down payment.
