I am planning on leasing Fusion Titanium Energi. Looking to find out what did others pay and with what options. Also what was your down payment, monthly lease payment, Money Factor and how much fees did you pay. Any help is welcome. Thanks.

I know that if I lease a Fusion Energi I cannot claim the tax credit since I do not own the vehicle. I would expect that I would still benefit from the tax credit by applying it towards the down payment on the lease (ok, they should do that). When I look at the offers from Ford they all state that they are purchase OR lease. To me this implies that for a lease I should get the current incentives plus the tax credit. The sales rep that I am dealing with is trying to tell me that the rebate on the lease is the tax credit but since the offers are for a lease OR a purchase I am not buying it. But I am not sure if that tax credit may be buried somewhere else. Since I cannot make heads or tails reading the fine print I was wondering if anybody who recently leased got a better explanation. Thanks!

Hello Folks.... In the process of ordering my new 2013 Fusion Energi with the Drivers Assist, Nav, Adaptive CC, and All-Weather floor mats installed. MSRP w/ Dest Charge is $43,900. With the X-Plan discount the net is $41,476. I have been approved for the 24 month/19,500 mile lease with $7500 down. I am curious to know what others have experienced with their purchase. The dealer hasn't provided me yet with a complete break-down of my payment, but what information they have given me there are a couple of things that stood out. First and foremost, my total payment is $543. That is substantially higher than the calculator on the website, but I didn't realize (having never leased a car before) that all taxes and fees are rolled into the lease. Missouri has sales and personal property taxes so that adds up pretty quickly. The residual value was also higher than I expected at 59%! I was prepared for that number to be lower so I'd be curious to know what others are seeing? The other thing is that the dealership doesn't appear to have factored in the $3750 tax credit into the equation as the depreciation charge is listed as being $17,005.16. Simple math would suggest that something is awry. On the website they subtract that credit out so I'm curious what others on here had found? Now my credit is somewhat challenged, so I am SUPER curious to see what the lease fee/month is coming out to be; but the dealership isn't in too big of a hurry to provide me with a payment breakdown. All's I have is the finance guys hand-written notes....lol. I did find some calculators online and it appears that my my money factor in terms of a tradition interest rate is 6%. The dealership is also including the Ford "Wear Care" warranty in the payment. Anyone have any experience with that at turn in? Also cost? Anyone have any experience with ordering from the factory. Specifically what are some of the turn-around times others are experiencing from order date to delivery? Thanks in advance for everyones opinion as it is greatly appreciated! Have a great day....

I just posted this new article on why I leased my Fusion Energi instead of buying: Should you buy or lease your new plug-in hybrid? The forum admins have granted me permission to post links to my blog articles here for discussion. I'd prefer to promote this forum and have discussions here rather than on my blog.
