As I said, go to a high volume dealer. You live in Pittsburgh according to your profile. Tell me you can't find a "MEGA DEALER" within 250 miles?? Only if you aren't looking. ANY dealer will tell you about your LEASE PAYOFF. Notice I didn't say BUY OUT. PAYOFF is as I described. It has nothing to do with an appraiser or fair market value. You owe what the rent charge portion ... Read More...

Re: Chicago area lease rates? [jmartin1]

Hi jmartin1. ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Flex Limited AWD with 12,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 50%, respectively. As you can see, Ford Credit publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing ...

I bought a $30,000 Explorer in 2003 for $18,600 WITH ZERO DOWN, NO TRADE-IN. I mentioned it because you got $2,000 off your MSRP and I got over $11,000. I've seen final buy-down rebates of $8000+ for Explorers recently but by that time leases are over for the MY. Again, not helpful. $1,500 in negative equity raised your payment $30. Like I said, DIDN'T DRASTICALLY ... Read More...

You are in LOADED BMW X3 territiory at near $500. Yeah, after laying down $4000 for the fees and down payment. I finance all of that in so I don't have to write a check at signing. That takes you much closer to $600 per month for that tiny tin can BMW. And no $1,500 in negative equity isn't really going to change your payment that drastically on a 39 month lease. It added ...

I looked at leasing a Flex. Decided against it after working the numbers. It is actually cheaper to buy one. Financing $28,000 with ZERO down, your monthly payment is only $411. (1.9% for 72 months is the current special offer through Ford Credit). I think $28,000 is about invoice price on an SE FWD. You can get WAY WAY under invoice right now so that number would ...

With current Ford incentives, we just leased a Flex SE with Painted roof, Sync, and 6 Disk, and rear backup sensor system. $2000 down total 39 months 10,500 miles/year $410/month. We opted for the service plan as well, which includes all oil changes, brakes, hoses, etc...(usually that's normal maintenance that needs to be taken care of and is not paid for). That ...
