Deal Check: 2024 Ford Mach E Select AWD Michigan

,

Good morning,

I am new to the leasing world and have been working on negotiations on a few different leases in my area of Central Michigan. I just got a worksheet from a dealer on a 2024 Mach E and I want to make sure I am reading it correctly. I am interested in doing a 1 pay and am confused by the worksheet as it looks like the payment is only $1011.62 but not sure if this is per month which is throwing me off. Could you take a look and advise?

Before we get to your question, this shows a discount of only $901.84, which is terrible.

What is your target price for this vehicle?

Post a picture, not a PDF.

I think it’s an X-plan price, which is a fixed discount, but in this case unlocks plan-specific rebates.

It looks like it’s saying the OnePay would be that $12,600 number, if I am following the math? I am not sure why you’d do a OnePay on this vehicle, where the rate is pretty near zero. It makes more sense on say an Ioniq 5 where there is more interest savings on offer.

If you are set on a Mach-E - check out the Premium trim instead. The programs are better.

I was trying to get a one pay for less than $6000. This was their initial offer to my request for lease breakdown. I have not even countered yet. I am currently trying to decipher as I had requested a 36 month 10k one-pay and this is what he returned. I am trying to figure out whether the “payment” of $1011.62 is one-pay or if it is a monthly amount for 24 months. They indicate $12000 in rebates so just trying to get an idea before I attempt to counter. If the initial offer is $1011.62 as a one-pay I at least know I am reading this correctly. If this is a monthly then I will respond accordingly. Any insight is much appreciated!! I am very new to this whole thing but very interested!

it looks to me as a monthly payment being 1000+

Do you mind if I add a screenshot of your PDF to your original post?

People may be leery about opening the document.

Not a problem at all. I actually just took one so this should help. Sorry about that! I do qualify for x-plan so hope that helps as well. Based on what I could tell with GM ev’s which I qualify for GMS on but no loyalty as this would be my first lease, the one-pay’s are much better MF so thought that would likely be the case with ford as well. I agree that $1011/mo is not something I am interested in and would not be into accepting but as a one-pay this seems like it would be very good.

Looks to me that the single payment amount is $12,610.92.

Just a hunch, but what do you get when you multiply $1,011.62 x 24, subtract the $12k in rebates, and then add in the disposition fee (plus any applicable sales tax)?

Regardless, it looks like a terrible deal. I’d pivot to making offers, but of course make sure you have a solid handle on all the numbers and that your offer is supported by the market.

Roger that! I appreciate it and yes I think you are right!! I suspect that is exactly how it is and agree 1000% that is a terrible deal!

Is the ford 3x better than the Equinox? Or 6x better than the Ioniq 5?

First thing to understand about hacking is choosing the most hackable car in the first place.

I would agree there. I was already leaning towards the Equinox but this dealer came to me on a previous inquiry and thought I would give them a shot. I don’t think they are going to get close to what I thought this was. Thank you for all the feedback!!

Nope. Single pay amount is…

24 x 954.36 = 22904.64

Single Pay 22904.64 (must exclude tax, otherwise it won’t amortize* correctly)
Single Pay Tax @6.00% 1374.24
Upfront Charge 332.04 (likely includes Doc fee, tax, DMV fees)
TOTAL 24610.92
Rebate 12000.00
DAS 12610.92
