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

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.

No problem elliemaej. Unfortunately, in general the residual values that are available today are not as attractive as the ones that were available several years ago. For a period of a number of years, banks were overestimating vehicles' future values. Things started to get bad when gas prices exploded last summer, which took their toll on the resale value of all trucks. As the recession began to grip the economy this weakness in resale values gripped all used vehicle prices. The banks that are heavily involved in leasing are being forced to take huge charges for their residual value exposure. As a result, they are much more conservative today with their resids.
 
Good luck in your quest for your new ride. Let us know if you have any other questions and how things turn out.

Hi Car Man, I was wondering if you know if the rates and residuals have changed now that we are in June. It seems that the incentives have gone up.
The stock of Edges is pretty high in my area so I am hoping for a good deal.
If you could give me the rate and residuals for 36/12k for the SEL and Limited Trims in both AWD and FWD, that would be great.

Hi elliemaej. I have seen Ford's June lease program. Unfortunately, it varies by region. For now I will take a stab in the dark and guess that you are in the NY area. Let me know if you want the program for somewhere else.
 
Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Ford Edge SEL or Limited AWD with 12,000 miles per year in its NY region are 1.25% and 44%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Edge SEL or Limited FWD are 1.25% and 43%.

Thanks CarMan, I do believe that CT falls into the NY area but not 100% sure. I have notice lately that 2010 models are showing up in the online inventory of some dealers. Have any 2010 lease rates been announced yet?

Early Bird Lease return by elliemaej
Jun 22, 2009 (5:12 pm)
Reply
I received an postcard from Ford stating that I can return my lease early (2 months).
When I went to the dealer today to discuss my options, he stated that mileage would be prorated. For some reason,I was under the impression that they didnt do that. Can anyone confirm this to be true?
My only reason for returning the car early was to avoid the over mileage fees.
I will wait until the end of my lease and pay it then.
