Ask a Ford salesman anything (Incentives, Inventory, etc)

i'm curious as to any leasing options available for the 2013 focus st. i'm not opposed to buying it. bu i'm not wanting to trade in my svtf to do so, being able to lease it would make this a much more appealing offer against the opposition.

Ford isn't really wanting to lease the ST. No lease cash, no special rates, plus it's a manual so the residual is 2% less than an automatic.

I ran a base ST and the lease would be $450/mo with only 12k year and that doesn't include tax even.

Same vehicle 72 months with tax is $440/mo.

wow, and yet they have lease option on a mustang gt. (not surprising as its a popular car)
how much a down payment was that for 440 a month? there is an st2 in tengerine scream at the local dealer, no one has even bothered to test drive. save for about two of my freinds.i'm going to go play on fords site and see what i come up with.

First month payment plus security deposit so like $1,000

Hi i am wanting to upgrade to a flip key for my 2011 focus, i have wound two that say they will fit on ebay.

right now i am leaning towards the first key, it looks sleeker to me, my concern about the first key is the panic button on the side looks like it will be easy to trigger accidently. Do you have a recommendation for which style you would choose.

Thanks ~ Kevin

I've been shopping for a few weeks and am getting down to the end and have a question. The dealer who is quoting me the best price is standing by his interpretation that the conquest cash rebate listed on ford.com(Program #34318) only applies to a leased vehicle. It specifically says owners of other brands in the details. Am I wrong? Is there something else I'm not understanding?
Buying a titanium HB in performance blue, and the dealer has it in stock.

Right now, there are two $1000 rebates I qualify for, and the $500 we are in debate over. One of the $1000 rebates, and the $500 go until April, the other expires Monday. But, next month is auto show month, and they always throw out rebates for that. It's just a gamble of is it going to be more or less than now. Any thoughts?

What about rebates now for the ST?
ZIP 18848
VIN 1FADP3L90DL240573

I can see the $1000 customer cash, $1000 payments on us cash, $500 auto show cash, and the usual $500 conquest/loyalty (Ranger) cash.

Confirmation anyone?

The dealer is correct, the program is actually called Competitive Lease Conquest. Here is the verbage for the actual program:

- Customers that currently lease a non-Ford/Lincoln/Mercury Motor Company Car, SUV or Light Duty Truck will receive Conquest Cash towards the purchase or lease of an eligible new vehicle.

- Current lease customers are not required to terminate their lease.

Well dang it, thanks for clarifying. I guess I should send an email to Ford telling them to fix their website as it says owner on there. Oh well, I guess I'm going to wait for the rebates to change on Monday to see what happens.
