#7 of 16 Re: finding a scratch or discoloration after picking up lease [sitdevil1] by chiefbigg Mar 16, 2006 (10:22 pm)
Replying to: sitdevil1 (Mar 16, 2006 8:25 am) Sitdevil,   I can't answer your question, but was hoping you could give the details on what model you got and the cost. I live in IL and have been trying to lease a Mariner, but the dealers don't seem very accomodating.   Did you get the Signature Lease? $279 on a Luxury with no other out of pocket except TTL.   Thanks!

Replying to: chiefbigg (Mar 16, 2006 10:22 pm) chiefbigg -   The dealer i went do didnt have any luxury vehicals, i got a premiere. just a little more a month with a down payment to cover the 1st month and all fees.   Be careful, the signature lease doesnt include tax. and its 39 months and 10.5 k milage a year. the warrenty time is 36 months. i believe i got quoted that the 279 signature was the same as a 239 a month with a down payment.   I'm in the NY/NJ area so things might be different.

Replying to: sitdevil1 (Mar 17, 2006 6:22 am) I ended up leasing the Premier tonight. It has pretty much everything you can get (leather, roof, 6 CD changer, sideboards, roof rack, back-up sensor). MSRP was $28,900. I had a trade which saved me about $600 in taxes, but I didn't really have any equity so it was a wash otherwise.   39 months, 12K per year. I was out the door for $327/mo. including TTL. No money out of pocket.
#10 of 16 New Mercury Mariner Lease by kmom Apr 11, 2006 (6:13 am)
Just leased a 2006 Mariner yesterday. Feel like I researched it pretty good, test drove it, liked it and then when it came time to negotiate the sales people had apparently never heard of the $279/mnth, $0, $0, $0 deal. They were quoting like $330/ month for the convenience mariner. Finally they seemed to figure out what we wanted and explained that that deal was with very specific options(moon roof , V6 etc). They said they didn't have any in stock and neither did anybody else. We left to go talk about it when we returned they said they had one coming in end of the month. Anyways signed on a luxury with moonroof, 4x4, V6 and 6 cd for 288 month plus taxes. $9 more per month than the $279 because we are getting all the extra airbags. But I was pleasntly surprised they really offered the deal and it really was $0 down. Apparently Ford credit requirements are still reasonable for this deal. When Mitzubishi runs the same $0 down they want a credit score of 750+. Don't take delivery for a few weeks so can't tell you how satisfied I am with the car yet. But I am pretty happy with deal.

Replying to: kmom (Apr 11, 2006 6:13 am) What was the sticker price of the mariner you leased for $288. My Mercury dealer didn't know anything about the red carpet lease. Did they try to sell you the wear and tear option for when the vehicle is turned in? Was this a 36 month lease? Also, what was the residual %.   I am looking at a Mariner with a sticker of around $26,900 and being quoted a 36 month lease of approximately $314. Also, did your lease have a Mercury acquisition cost of approx $630? My salesman said this is added to every Mercury lease.   Thanks, Roger K. Replies to this message: kmom (Apr 18, 2006 6:13 am)

Replying to: illiniram (Apr 17, 2006 6:52 pm) Our dealer claimed to know nothing about the red carpet lease at first either. Apparently Mercury came up with that deal based on particular features so that the residual value is high enough. So you have to get one with those specific options. We actually wanted a more base model but the lease payment would have been higher. We are waiting until next week to pick up delivery and we have until then to purchase the wear and tear but we have to pay cash for it. What is your opinion of this. I would turn it down we lan on taking care of the vehicle and keeping it clean but we have kids. We've never leased before so is this a good deal? The lease is 39 months not 36 and you get 1000 miles per month with a charge of 15 cents for every mile over. I believe the sticker price was 26,900 but in the lease agreement the agreed upon price of the vehicle is 24,000 which I know was below sticker price. Acquisition fee of 595 and documentation of 345. Or in other words profit margin. But these fees are all roled into the lease, still we did not put $1 down and our lease payment is $288 + sales tax. We could have gotten a payment of $279 but they had one coming in sooner with the airbags which I wanted. The side impact airbags are not one of the required options for the lease deal. So the $314 may be the $270 plus sales tax. Purchase at end of lease option is $14017. From what I have read mercury doesn't really want to lease these they want to get you into the showroom. But if you are firm they will make good on the deal. If you compare to other leases it is a really sweet deal. If one dealer won't cooperate go to another. Use cars.com. You can do your negotiations from home with another dealer. hope this answers some questions.

Replying to: Car_man (Aug 31, 2005 3:59 pm) Hi, we'd like to lease a 2008 Mariner Hybrid... It has been difficult to obtain quotes for one but I have found a GM at a dealer who's willing to work with me. The money factors for hybrids are pretty brutal, nonetheless, I have a deal on the table I'm considering:   MSRP: $31,755 Sale Price: $200 over invoice minus the $195 rebate = $29,082 He may give us trade equity on our current leased vehicle that has extremely low miles in the amount of: $1150 Adj Cap Cost: $27,754 Residual: $17,685 % to factor: 5.75% 39 months, 10,000 miles low mileage lease for wife who doesn't drive much. Payment ($366), incl. WA. state sales tax: $399   Does this sound right? And all things considered regarding the difficulty of leasing a hybrid, is it a decent deal? It's only $7 more than our current payment on a VW Touareg...   Thanks for any input!
#14 of 16 2008 Mariner Lease by jramm Jul 01, 2007 (10:14 am)
Trying to find residual and money factor for 2008 Mariner Premier FWD. I'm still looking into several vehicles and trying to work the numbers on each. I've started contacting dealers but haven't gotten any details from them at this point. Can I expect them to share this information prior to going in and sitting down with them?   Thanks.
#15 of 16 Difficulty of leasing Mariner Hybrid by sheyerly Jul 05, 2007 (9:42 pm)
I own my own business and leasing is the best way to go for me for tax purposes. I tried to lease a hybrid Mariner today and the lowest I could get them was $660.00 per month. It was actually less to purchase this vehicle. I have never heard of such a thing. After discussing this they offered me a conventional Mariner for 340.00 per month. I declined both and left. It is very frustrating that I am trying to help the environment and I am being penalized. On top of that I live in Los Angeles where everyone is on the whole "environmental" craze.So, you would think that they would offer great deals. I am definitely going to take my time and check out other dealerships to see if there are better options. Any suggestions?
#16 of 16 Not worth leasing at current price point by craig001 Aug 02, 2009 (8:19 pm)
I don't think that it's worth leasing these at their current price point. The extra money you pay will never be seen in fuel savings over a 36 month lease. I got mine for the "Hey I care about the environment factor," since the Explorer I got rid of only got 12.5 (V8/AWD). But this is just MHO.
