About a year ago I purchased a ford mach-e that I shared here: New Mach-E premium AWD extended battery Lease
My son has been driving it mostly and about two weeks ago a lady decided to run a stop sign causing an accident. The damage to the mach-e was extensive and the car was totaled, but it did its most important job, and kept my boys and their friend safe.
Now came the challenge, finding a replacement car that was hopefully still an EV for a reasonable price after all the policy changes. I looked at Cadillac, BWM, Lexus, Kia and no one wanted to play ball and I needed something sooner rather than later. Because my last deal was pretty good, I am walking away with over $5k after the lease payoff. The ford dealer initially came with higher numbers, jacked up MF and it took about two days of emails to get to something I had before.
Now for the numbers:
Year: 2025
Make: Ford
Model: Mach-e Premium AWD with sports appearance package
MSRP: $51,180
Sale Price: 46,266
Rebates: $8500
$5500 EV RCL Cash
$2000 public charging credit
$500 college student
$500 bonus coupons from dealer
Term & Mileage: 36 Months / 12k
DAS: $1500
Monthly: $378 (includes 6% tax)
My previous payment was $367, but with my previous $1000 down, the current $1500 down and the insurance pay, I am somewhat coming out ahead.
Picture of the new and old!
