First time shopping a lease. Using X-Plan.
$74,595 MSRP
$71,750 sale price
$10,750 in rebates
56% RV
693 monthly.
Seems quite high to me. I keep seeing folks getting a lot more off MSRP. Any suggestions? Do I just shop around for a better sale price? Dealer says X-Plan can’t be negotiated…
X-plan isn’t helping you here, you will get a better deal without it. You’re looking for a dealer discount of at least 9% and up to 12% off, which is easily done on the east coast, but I hear CA Ford dealers are tough.
Thanks! I’ll try going without X-Plan for a better deal.
Turns out 500 of the incentives is for skipping the charger install. If I don’t have a charger already, is it worth dropping the incentive? Seems like a good deal.
It depends. You can read more about the Ford power promise here- Ford Power Promise | EV Charging Solutions & Support | Ford.com - On the surface, if you don’t have a charger at home yet, and you can’t install it yourself, you could get more than $500 of value opting into the free charger and install. OTOH, only the simplest install is covered, and if exceed the “free” parameters, the company that does the install (Qmerit) tends to overcharge for excess work. In general, better to just to take the $500 and figure it out yourself, especiialy if you are handy.
Super helpful info, thanks!
The quote I just received (AZ) was about 4.5% off of MSRP for a Platinum, and it looks like you’re at 3.8%. So far off of the 9-12% I’ve seen on here.
many on here, myself included, suggest to not ask a dealer for quotes, send the dealer an offer based on your research, say you’ll execute the contract today or whenever you can, and then be ready to keep your word. Be prepared to send multiple dealers actual offers. Good luck.
That’s the approach I’ll take now. I already started off with X-Plan at my local dealer so I’ll be expanding my search and sending offers.
Thanks!
Too high IMO. Have you looked at GMC Sierra Elevation EVs?
No, I haven’t yet. I’ve been focused on the lightning. Might be running out of time to get a good deal with the tax rebates expiring…
You still have time
I’m having the same issue in NorCal
Yeah, I’ve had zero luck getting any dealer below x-plan price.
