#156 of 177 Help needed (2009 Ford Flex Limited, AWD) by drmocuga

Nov 21, 2011 (9:30 pm)

I have a 2009 Ford Flex Limited, AWD, leased in the Chicagoland area. We are getting to the end of our lease and are interested in buying the truck. Does anyone know:
 
1. If Ford offers any financing options for buying the vehicle and what the rates are in Chicago?
 
2. Can you negotiate (down) the residual value (i.e. purchase price) and how low?
 
3. Is it better to deal with the dealership or Ford Credit directly?
I appreciate all the help!

Hi Car Man,
 
Can you post the current buy rate/money factor and residual for a Ford Flex SEL in the Southern California area for 24/36 months and 12K miles?
 
Thanks!

Hi jskrif. Ford Credit's January base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of 2012 Flex SEL FWD with 12,000 miles per year in its Southern California region are 0.25% and 61%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 1.5% and 54%.
 
Ford is currently providing a $1,250 cash incentive on leases of this vehicle.

There is a $1,250 cash incentive on leases of this vehicle right now. Make sure to take this cash into account during your negotiations.

Greetings to the appropriately named flexbuyer. Hmmmm, Tier 4 credit. I know the top credit tier numbers, I'll have to look into the Tier 4 numbers for you.
 
For now I can tell you that the top tier lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Flex Limited AWD with 12,000 miles per year are 1.75% and 52%, respectively everywhere except for in California.
 
There is a $1,750 cash incentive on leases of this vehicle. Again the amount is higher in California.

Thanks Car Man.
 
Just a note to other potential Ford lessees. I went back and forth with my dealer on price, etc for about 2 weeks, finally agreed on price, trade-in, etc. When I plugged in all the numbers into a lease calculator using the 2.25% and 52% numbers they gave me, I was coming out with a monthly payment that was about $40 lower than the dealer was quoting me. Of course, I suspected that the dealer was trying to pull something sleazy, but after a little research, I found out that Ford Credit adds a monthly administrative fee to the payment. It is 0.00111 (approximately) times the Cap Cost. So if your cap cost is $36k, that adds $39.96 PER MONTH to the lease payment.
 
Be careful out there, people!!
