gtca Posted July 13, 2015 at 02:38 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 at 02:38 PM With the current Fusion Energi $7,500 rebate stacked with a military rebate I acquired a twenty-four month leased (15K miles a year) a 2015 Fusion Energi Titanium MSRP $41K for $379 a month, $2,100 down no security deposit. Residual and fees after the 24 months to own is right at $21K. Meaning I'll have a total of $32, 200 in to own (lease payments + down payment + residual) for a vehicle with an MSRP just North of $40,000 Question 1: That seems like a pretty solid purchase over the long term correct? Question 2: It would make sense with the ton of technology on this loaded Titanium to buy the 100k bumber to bumper offered by Ford at lease termination/purchase correct? THANKS!

jeff_h Posted July 13, 2015 at 03:00 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 at 03:00 PM What $7,500 rebate are you thinking of? Are there steep rebates by Ford in your area right now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted July 13, 2015 at 04:04 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 at 04:04 PM The federal tax credit on an Energi is $4007. A car has to have at least a 10 kWh battery to get the $7500 tax credit. However with a lease that doesn't apply to you. The leasing company owns the car and gets the tax credit. The leasing company should pass it through to you in the leasing contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadiel Posted July 13, 2015 at 09:47 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 at 09:47 PM Question 1: Looking at the 2013's, I see there are a few with like 13k miles on them and selling for 21K, this one even had adaptive cruise control. Question 2: Yea I would probably buy the extended warranty, I don't know if it will be the same as bumper to bumper though? Check out flood ford for pricing on there website so you know if you got a good deal or buy from them directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
storksb Posted July 13, 2015 at 09:54 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 at 09:54 PM The $7500 rebate most likely includes the $4007 federal tax credit, when I got my FFE back in July the lease rebates were $9000 including the $4007. Did you have to put the $2100 down? The reason I ask is that I was allowed to use the rebate as the down payment and therefore made no out of pocket payment for the first month.

rjent Posted July 13, 2015 at 10:12 PM Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 at 10:12 PM We just leased our Titanium a few months ago. We also got a 3 year 13500/year with a 6000 rebate no down and a 19700 residual buyout. The rebates are supposed to run through the end of July. With a buy out of less that 20K, it is a pretty good deal. HOWEVER, we will probably just lease another at the end of this lease. We like driving new, but to each their own...

gtca Posted July 14, 2015 at 07:22 PM Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 at 07:22 PM No, the $7,500 rebate was just that, it was not linked to the tax credit. I also received $500 addition for being a veteran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMHO Dick Right, my buy out is $21K, but occurs in in 2 years instead of three. And no, I had to right a check for the down payment whoever asked that.

storksb Posted July 14, 2015 at 11:05 PM Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 at 11:05 PM I bet the $7500 rebate does include the tax credit but it is not shown that way. If you are leasing the car the leasing company (owner of the car) claims the tax credit. Sounds like you got a good deal though and if you are happy then all is well. lonzo71, jeff_h and Hybridbear 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaaktnt Posted July 16, 2015 at 10:34 PM Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 at 10:34 PM rjent, How much monthly? I got 420/month.. 1K down 12K miles for 36 months and 18K residual... looks like you got better deal.... but 18K is pretty reasonable residual to buyout.. but I'll see after 3 years..

shaggy314 Posted August 5, 2015 at 04:14 AM Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 at 04:14 AM KBB says mine is worth $23,300 now. She is 2 years 2 months old with 31,500 miles. I have (as shown below) Adaptive cruise, moon roof, and navigation over base Titanium. It's a lot of depreciation from the $41k price it started at... I'm hoping the 7 yr, 100k waranty extension I got will help its value when I go to sell it in 3 years. There isn't much more value left to lose by then.

FusionNAZ Posted September 29, 2015 at 12:52 AM Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 at 12:52 AM Did you lease the Ford Fusion Energi? I just purchased a one year old Ford Fusion Energi Titanium for $20k CPO with 50k miles. Extended warranty to 2020/125k for $3k more. Depending on the miles you can get one very reasonably priced certifed pre owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaveMan Posted November 5, 2016 at 06:10 PM Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 at 06:10 PM (edited) Here is a typical soft lease offer from Ford on a new 2017 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium tweaked to my liking. How do you calculate the "buyout" amount from this information? This would be a check I would write to them to purchase the title to the vehicle at the end of lease. I assume, at lease end, whether I bring in the car with 10 miles on it (like new), or with 100,000 miles and the car smashed up, its the same check I am writing. I will likely go over my miles by 8,000 - 10,000 at least. Base MSRP S1$32,120Total of OptionsS4$3,490Destination ChargesS17$875Estimated Capitalized CostS14$36,485Incentives:$6,507 ($4,007 + Dealer Stock Discount [no way the dealer would have this car on the lot.. but another story])Net Price S5$29,978Down Payment$2,613Adjusted Capitalized CostS15$27,365Monthly PaymentS6$491(24 month term, 19,500 miles/yr, $3,749 due at signing) Thanks Edited November 5, 2016 at 06:20 PM by ClaveMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
