Energized Posted January 14, 2013 at 03:29 AM Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 at 03:29 AM Has anyone looked into leasing a Fusion Energi? I was wondering what the 3 year residuals are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelS Posted January 22, 2013 at 06:37 PM Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 at 06:37 PM I was also wondering about the credits for fed and state taxes, and how it will affect our Fusion Energi Lease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TX NRG Posted January 23, 2013 at 08:00 AM Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 at 08:00 AM You can price it on the Ford site. Currently a $3750 Red Carpet Lease customer cash back;maybe more cash if you have state tax breaks like CA but it should come up if you use your zip code. This is a pass through of the tax credits the buyer (dealer) gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where that rebate gets 'absorbed'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder where that rebate gets 'absorbed'? Check this to be sure but I read that in CA you get the $1,500 if you lease for 36 months or more.

ChuckJ Posted January 26, 2013 at 02:54 AM Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 at 02:54 AM I asked my salesman to provide me the residuals for the SE and Titanium Energi's because I like to understand what the company thinks my car will be worth 3 or 4 years from now. His response was: Titanium - 36 month - 54% 39 month - 52% 48 month - 46% SE - 36 month - 51% 39 month - 49% 48 month - 43% Three things to notice here:1. Pretty nice residuals for a car with a very expensive battery that is half used after 4 years.2. Titanium is significantly better than SE which means to me, if you're going to get a highly optioned SE, maybe you should consider a Titanium.3. Keeping it 4 years is even better than 3 years But the bottom line is that whether you buy or lease, this hybrid has a pretty reasonable expected depreciation.

Those are good residuals and should help keep the monthly lease price down, along with the Federal and State incentives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't figure out how you add those other incentives (other than the 3750 tax rebate) and the value of your trade-in (the lease tool itself doesn't let you add a reasonable trade-in price or other incentives) ChuckJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckJ Posted January 26, 2013 at 01:53 PM Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 at 01:53 PM Has anyone figured out what the interest rate the leases are based on? ChuckJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokicat Posted April 17, 2013 at 11:15 PM Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 at 11:15 PM Lease rates are based on money factor and not APRs. The complexity is that the leasing company buys the car and loans it to you. The factor is based on three things - sales tax, general cost of borrowing money, and the average value of the vehicle during the lease period. It's difficult to get the exact details from a dealer on how they calculated the money factor, but in general and equivalent APR is the money factor x 2400. A dealer should give you a money factor.
