I’ve been looking around at the 2016 Ford Fusion Energi so I can get an HOV pass in NY and big incentives ($11k) on 2016’s. Unfortunately the SE’s are gone so lease monthly payment on the Titanium ($41k+ MSRP) is much higher. Working with a dealer at the end of September I was offered ~$400 sign & drive (registration/DMV only). However, if I went with a 2017 they had (they have SE’s) they could do ~$350.
Saw a post of Craigslist for a 2016 Titanium lease transfer, 28 months left @ $295, but seller was unwilling to offer any incentive. $75 fee for credit check; no disposition fee. I’ve never done a lease assumption but understand there are some risks…
Does this sound like a good opportunity? I own a 2011 Outlander Sport, but looking to sell it soon (2nd kid on the way and can’t fit a car seat behind driver’s seat - I’m tall, but only 6’2" - seems ridiculous to me!).
The wife has us looking at minivans to replace our Traverse lease which is up in March - in case anyone is seeing good deals on those (although we’ll probably buy due to mileage use).
