Louisiana Ford Car Dealers

Howdy Car_man Im looking to lease a 2012 Ford Edge FWD Limited in Las Vegas, NV for 24mths with 10500mi/yr. May I please have the residual and base lease rate values for my area? Thanks in advance!

Shopped 3 dealers, one out of state. Best offer was on a 2012 Limited with everything but 4WD. Sticker priced at $46,507. Got it for $41,563, $3,000 down, 15,000 mile lease for $630/month, 39 months. That's actually $1,000 back of invoice, or X-plan pricing. I didn't have X-plan, but they gave me the same deal. The General Manager took care of me personally, because I know the owner of the store. So I'm sure everybody can't get the same deal, but I'm super happy. And love the car so far. This is our 8th Explorer.

Sticker, $46,507, paid $41,563. 15,000 mile/year lease. $630.00/month with Wear Care. 39 months, $3000 down. Wonderful dealership, Friendly Ford, Las Vegas.

Vaibhave, Glad you ditched the wear and tear package, waste of money imo. As for the car - I did a quick search on Truecar.com -- if you already made the deal, don't worry and enjoy the car. However, there are three dealers in your area that are selling the car for $28,500-$28,600 (guaranteed price). Also checked Cupertino as well, same pricing. Also the rebates are $1500, but the RCL lease might only have had a $1000 incentive, not sure on this, but still, would have put the purchase price at $29,000. So you only paid ~$1000 more, not terrible, but something to note for the future. All in all, you did alright on the lease. Their claim to not supporting US Bank is a questionable statement, every Ford dealer does - as it's the only way to lease GT's at the moment. If I were you, go to t r u e c a r . c o m (not sure if edmunds is blocking the site) and put in your zip code and it'll give you the list of dealers (one was Sunnyvale Ford. Call them and ask what the current program is from Ford on a 10,500 mile lease, my guess is it's 56% (you get +1 point for each mileage level, 15K being the lowest, 10,500 being the best and +3 over 15K. Tell them you know that US Bank is 61% and .00182 (4.37% MF) and want to know exactly what Ford's program is on a 10,500 and 12,000 mile for your own gut check. By quoting US Bank's #'s they will be less likely to give you the wrong information. Also be sure to ask this of the finance dept and not a sales person - you could scribble everything they know about leasing on a piece of rice and still have room left over ;) If the dealer didn't adjust the residual accordingly, you have something to take them to task on. If I get a free moment, tomorrow I can check on them for you with the dealers I work with in LA (Galpin Ford - the largest retail dealer in the U.S. and I have a VIP/corporate account with them) but they didn't have the car specs I wanted, hence going to the other dealership. Either will give me the real programs). But I still think 53% still seems low for a 10,500 mile lease, especially since the have a V6 lease program in place with Ford Motor Credit (US Bank is 61%/.00182 MF). However, still call yourself in case I get tied up and don't get a chance for a day or two, as time is of the essence. Lastly, one question I forgot to ask -how long did you lease the car for? I had just assumed a 36 month lease. Again, hope you are enjoying the car. Best, damon EDIT: I just sent out an email for the RCL program, hopefully hear back tomorrow.

Around $22,000 for basic 2WD, XLT, 4 cylinders, around 5,000 miles, if you can believe that. Escapes (and most Fords these days) are pricey. Limited 6 cylinders 4WD are about $25,000. Hybrids are about $30,000. Unbelievable, no? Frankly, you may as well buy a 2011 new.
