I'm hoping someone can help, I put a deposit on a 2007 Focus Wagon and the incentive (RCL) cash just went up from $500 to $1,000 so I thought, great, my payment will be lower than originally quoted. But my salesman says the interest rate (money factor?) has gone up by 1.5% so the payment is actually $3/month higher.
How do I know this is true?
Thanks

Thanks, yes it was 3.5% for a 36mo/12k lease.
I have the X-plan and I am a recent college grad but I don't know how much difference that made in the number game. What do you guys think?

1) $2500 Rebate
2) College Student $500
3) Ford Financing $500
Is it possible and realistic to expect all 3 of these rebates?
Also, how much can I expect to get for a trade-in?

Stk #FU81101, VIN #8W109834, 4 cyl., auto, a/c, p/ABS/winds/lks, am/fm cd, cloth int., traction control, ambient interior lighting, Sirius
satellite radio, MSRP: $17,445.
$3574† due at signing (incl. $0 sec dep) + tax, tags & mv fees.
†Down pymt/1st mo pymt/sec dep/bank fee /Total pymts/residual: $2880/$99/$0/$595/$2376/$10,816
leases include 10,500 mi./yr w/.20c per mi. thereafter. All prices are plus tags & taxes.
this all seems fine to me, except the $595 bank fee. Ive never leased, only bought, and never a brand new vehicle (usually certified used). $595 seems like a lot to me.
can anyone share experiences with bank fees, or even better, with this particular lease deal? thanks.
I am looking to negotiate a lease for my mother on a 2008 Focus S Coupe or Sedan(No preference). The only thing she cares about is an automatic. She will probably put around 5000-6000 miles on a year if that. Her credit score is in the low 800's. I would like to stay under 2k drive-off. Will someone please let me know what a reasonable monthly payment would be. I know I should be concerned with the residual and money factor, but I just need something short term for my mom since she probably won't be driving for too much longer.
Any idea on the current lease rate and residuals on an 08 Focus SES auto, 36 month 10,500 miles per year in the Kansas City area? Thanks.

Its probably a bit early, but any information on leases for the 2012 Focus SEL hatch? I'd be interested in MF & residuals for 24mo/12k per year or 36mo/12k per year.
Thanks!

Any update on the 2012 Focus leasing programs? Specifically I am looking for a titanium, 36 month, and 12k miles a year.
Thanks!

I see above you quoted a 12K mile SEL at 3.75 and 59%. Can you tell me what the numbers are for a Sedan at 15K miles? Wasn't sure if it is the same. My new Focus is built and should be delivered in the next few weeks. Looking to lease.
Thanks,

Sterling Gray Metallic SE sedan, automatic, 203A, sport, and winter, 36mo/15k, including TTT (new plates and 9% PA tax on the lease)
$2,929 down
$275 /mo
Also would consider (perhaps prefer) a base SEL if the numbers work, and if I can find one! The salesman of the car I'm looking at now says because of all the promotions on the SE, and higher residual VS the SEL, it wouldn't make sense. But he also doesn't have an SEL to sell me sooo...

Is the residual and buy rate different on a 2012 Focus SE sedan, 12k, 24 or 27 months? Thanks a lot.
Hoping you could help me out with a lease question regarding the 2012 Ford Focus 5 door Hatchback SEL with options 301A. Could you help supply the residual and money factor for this car MSRP $23625?
We would probably choose between 10k and 12k per year, 36 months at most.
Your help is greatly appreciated in deciding between the Focus and Mazda 3.
-thx!

I'm interested in finding out Ford Credit's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback SE with 12,000 miles per year. I hope to get a manual with the 203A package, if that makes a difference, and I'm located in Greensboro, NC.
Thanks so much!

Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
The residual value for a lease with only 10,500 miles per year would be 1% higher.
Ford is currently providing a $250 cash incentive on leases of this car.
