Good morning sunshine26
. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Lincoln MKS 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are 1.5% and 51%, respectively. As you can see, Ford Credit publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rate into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing it by 2400.
I personally am not all that familiar with what the market is like for the MKS right now, but given how terrible the current environment for auto sales is in the U.S. I personally would shoot for a selling price of a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice and see what happens. Make sure to stop by the "Lincoln MKS Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for this car lately.
Good luck and make sure to let us know how everything turns out.

I just ordered an MKS with an MSRP of 44,180... invoice price 41178. With tax, title, etc.. and $5000 down my lease will be 526 a month. I'm not sure if I got a good deal or not.

Hi demarcom. I believe that Lincoln extended its lease program on the MKS through November 18th. Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Lincoln MKS 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are 1.5% and 51%, respectively. As you can see, Ford Credit publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases.

Hi bobsokoler. I see that you are considering making a $5,000 down payment on the MKS that you are interested in leasing. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments when leasing. Those who do risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though your monthly payment will be higher, it would be much safer to go with a zero down lease.

Just got a lease on an awd with ultimate pkg. 10500 a year 36 mos. Only put taxes, fee's and first month down and am paying $485 a month. Compared to the shopping around this seems to be a good deal.
