I WANT TO LEASE MKX DOES ANYONE KNOW THE DEALS by cindystar on Thu Mar 13 22:39:49 PDT 2008

The '08 MKX I am looking at has a sticker of $44610. I would like to lease it for 39 months at 12k/year. What (with3000 TOTAL down) should I expect to pay per month after negotiating a price? Also, after a price is negotiated how (based on Ford's current lease rates) do you determine the exact lease price? OR NOTHING DOWN JUST (500) Thank you! I'm planning on leasing one this week.

leased Lincoln MKX with $1,295 Ultimate Pkg today by ventr4th on Fri Nov 02 18:16:22 PDT 2007

The initial quote I received for a 2008 MKX from the Lincoln dealer in Pompano Beach, FL was only about $40/month higher then the quote I got from the Ford dealer in Ft. Lauderdale for the 2008 Edge Limited with power liftgate. The Ford dealer personnel couldn't figure out how to use the Sync system so I ended up walking out and driving about 20 minutes to the Lincoln dealer. They had a Silver MKX on the lot with chrome wheels so I made an impulse lease with the Ultimate package (power liftgate, etc.) plus $895 for chrome 20 inch wheels. Here is the breakdown from the "Red Carpet" lease order form for a 24 month lease with 10.5K annual miles: Agreed Value $37023 (after $1500 rebate) Lessor Services $499 Acquisition Fee $595 Base payment $470.75 Sales tax $28.25 Monthly Payment $499 Down payment of $3772 (I think this is where they got me because we started out with a down payment of $750. I got confused with all the add ons but I wanted the car so bad that I just handed the lease manager my credit card ...not a good idea) First payment $499 Sales tax on down payment $236.35 DID I PAY TOO MUCH OR DID I GET A GOOD DEAL?????? I signed all the papers yesterday and went to pick up the car at 4pm today. After two hours the salesman could not get the Sync system to work with my new Motorola Bluetooth Krazer1 so we will try again tomorrow. I did get the Sync system to Sync up with a 40GB laptop external drive with about 8,000 songs. Sirius came with the car but on the way home it only received the Christian Broadcasting Network! I called my wife from my cell phone after I left the dealer and magically the call came up over the radio. I guess it takes awhile for the Sync process to work for the first time --- it had to download 250 numbers from my cell. Awesome sound system, terrific ride (my wife has a 2007 Cadillac SRX and I love the Lincoln 1000% more then the SRX). The Sync system is not for the technologically handicapped but I see its potential and with about another ten hours with someone at the dealership who remembers what they learned during training then I hope it lives up to its potential.
