#171 of 177 2013 Ford Flex Limited AWD - Lease Deal? by mutchinator

Dec 09, 2012 (12:40 pm)

Hello - I am debating on leasing a new 2013 Flex Limted AWD - loaded (except Ecoboost) - here is breakdown in Eastern Pennsylvania:
 
Here is numbers I was provided when we started talking about purchasing:
MSRP $46,940.
Rebate $2,000.
Discount $2,496.
Ford Credit $1,000.
Net $41,444.
 
I have a 2009 GMC Acadia for Trade - they were offering $18,500. which I think is low and I'm considering selling it outright. But they were factoring in $1,000 equity for the trade so the number on loan comes down to $40,444.
 
Purchase Deal:
$687.48/60 months/ZERO down
$601.16/72 months/ZERO down
 
Here is the lease offer - I was told 48% residual on 39 months:
Lease + Fees
$647.18 18k miles/year 39 months ZERO Down
 
Does the loan and lease offer seem fair? I think the lease seems a bit high - and when I asked about money factor, APR on loan - they dealer was pretty ambiguous and said they would find lowest rate, etc. Seemed a bit fishy...
 
I would like to lease -but this seems pretty high with my calculated comparable APR around 6% when I plug the numbers into a spreadsheet I found.
 
Thoughts? Thanks in advance -

Hi - did you ever finalize your lease? I am prepared to do so - but it looks like you had a decent deal on the rate; maybe a bit of a downpayment, but wondering how things worked out for you.

Yes I do realcul. Ford Credit's December base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Flex Limited AWD with 12,000 miles per year are 1.75% and 54% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The lease rate for the SEL AWD would be the same, but the residual value would be 56%.
 
There is a $1,000 cash incentive on leases of this vehicle right now (slightly higher in certain regions). Make sure to take this cash into account during your negotiations.

Sorry for the tardy reply.
 
Yes, we went ahead with the lease under these terms. Seemed like a pretty good deal, and it was on a vehicle that was a hard to-find-color color combination.
 
Also, leasing through Ford is particularly advantageous for us, because we live in Providence, RI, where there is a 6% annual car tax (yes, really outrageous, isn't it?). Somehow, FoMoCredit has a deal with the state to pay a state-wide average rate of 1.5%, so that special arrangement saves us around $4000 over the life of the lease.
 
I have heard that the Flex is hard for many dealers to get rid of, so aggressive negotiating ought to be possible, particularly for cars on the lot.
