#2 of 16 Lease price - Mercury Mariner Hybrid by truffing Oct 22, 2005 (3:36 pm)
I'm having a heck of a time trying to get a lease price for the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. My saleslady said the residual is not available, however she said my vechile that I ordered (not knowing the lease price when I ordered) would be delivered to the dealership next week. Anyone have a clue as to what the lease price would be? Replies to this message: Car_man (Nov 14, 2005 3:36 am) truffing (Nov 14, 2005 5:52 pm) Car_man (Dec 19, 2005 3:58 am)

Replying to: truffing (Oct 22, 2005 3:36 pm) Unfortunately, truffing, I have not seen the residual values for this truck either. Banks usually do not publish residual values for vehicles until they start arriving at dealers. To further complicate things, the residual values for hybrid vehicles are often significantly different than they are for equivalent non-hybrid models. I can tell you though that I expect this truck's lease program will not be very good and it will be a very expensive vehicle to lease. Sorry that I could not be of more help.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: truffing (Nov 14, 2005 5:52 pm) Car_man (Dec 19, 2005 3:58 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Nov 14, 2005 3:36 am) Well, I found out the hard way. I've been waiting for this since July '05. The interest rate from Ford Credit is 12.5%. The monthly payment on this SUV was $800.00 a month (with the A plan). Another Ford dealer (sells Mercury as well), gave me an interest rate of 7%. It cut it down to 750.00 a month. To buy the hybrid it was in the $600.00 range a month (with A plan). I figured I'd stick with the gas guzzler. I was told that Ford really doesn't want to lease these hybrids due to resale value. Since they are so new, no one would want to buy a used one. The only part I regret is having to wait until October to find out the pricing information.

Replying to: truffing (Nov 14, 2005 5:52 pm) I'm not surprised that the interest rates that you were quoted for this truck are so horrible, truffing. Ford is not currently providing any sort of lease support on it and Ford Credit's standard interest rates are horrific. I think that you are right about banks not wanting to lease Hybrids. This technology is fairly new and no one knows how well hybrids will hold up over a period of several years. Eventually the batteries in hybrid vehicles will have to be replaced, which is an expensive repairs. A company called ALG is sort of the industry standard when it comes to independent analysis of vehicle's residual values and they don't even publish residuals for hybrid vehicles yet.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

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.
