Vehicle condition (accidents, tire wear, etc.), options, and other details: This model has leatherette seats, apple car play & android auto. Equipment group 202A (remote start & 8 way passenger seat), Twin panel moon roof, co-pilot 360 assist+ (amazing for road trips), & comfort package (heated steering wheel, windshield wiper de-icer, heated 1st AND 2nd row seats). Aftermarket items: all weather floor liners, seat covers for the 2nd row captains seats, front windows are tinted 35% (I can remove if you don’t want this), I also covered the blue ovals with black vinyl stickers (I can also remove these).

  1. Take tax off your monthly in the title. Write $468+tax, since that will vary by leasee’s state.
  2. Am I reading this right? You are looking for someone to pay $580+tax/mo for an Explorer?? Even without that down payment, this will be a hard sell, especially here on LH.

Tricky one

In MA, Ford bakes excise tax into the monthly

I suppose so, but I understand that that person may end up being me (which I’m fine with). I’ll be the first to admit that the hacking on this deal isn’t up to leasehackr standards.

I’d remove that bit. I can see how you thought that would be funny. However online, in the absence of body language or any prior knowledge of your sense of humor, that would probably come across as acting like a bit of a d___

Yes. We loved the car and the dealer knew it. Didn’t play our cards right on this deal.
