shiftconvention Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Congrats! I'm stuck in the position of there being only like 6 '18s left that have the options I want in the country (bench + tech pkg). I'm thinking if the shipping costs are ~$1K, I probably would be better off just ordering. On top of that, I only think it makes sense if the dealer can honor my X Plan. But I read that the lease ARPs are horrible on '19s right now (like, 4%+ kinda horrible). I've never done a dealer order before, do the lease terms apply as of the date of order placement or is it as of the date the vehicle is delivered. I assume it's the former, but just wanted to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, here is my educated guess: If leases are similar to purchases, the Dealer can lock in the current terms at the time you order. Then when your vehicle arrives, you get the better of the two, if they differ. So if the leasing terms are better when you ordered than when your vehicle actually arrives, you get the terms from when you ordered. And if the leasing terms are better when your vehicle arrives than when you ordered, you get the current leasing terms at arrival. Good luck with you order.

swedejohannson Posted October 11, 2018 Author Share Posted October 11, 2018 How does one "lock in" a lease term now with a dealership for a car that may not be delivered for 2-3+ mos? With rising interest rates, this could be very beneficial. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I believe the dealer has to do that at the time of the order. It used to be called the incentive protection program. You’ll have to ask your dealer about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiftconvention Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Rates are rising (generally), but it's clear Ford is pushing lessees towards '18 Navis vs. the '19s for now. The APR I got from my dealer was 5% which is insanity IMO. They will probably go lower from the 5% once 2018s are cleared out. Otherwise, no way they can compete against the Escalade and Germans with those kinda lease APRs.

swedejohannson Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 I was able to lock in interest/leaser rates on my 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonZoo Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 We locked in a home equity loan at 4.7% to have $$$$$$ ready when it arrives. Yep, those are a lot of $ signs. This way we get to deduct part of the interest come tax time. We ordered our Reserve about 6 weeks ago. We now kinda want the storage package but may be to late to edit our order. I believe the builds start next week on the 2019 models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Dealer can spec change the order to add the option, as long as the order isn't locked in for production which happens about 2 weeks prior to the actual build date.

GordonZoo Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 We edited our Navi Reserve to include the Cargo package. Looks like it will not be scheduled until December though I was hoping to get it before any salts hit the road to do an undercoating. The ordering pool for this SUV is longer than my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Any one here get an ETA on their 2019 yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonZoo Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Looks like the Lincoln web site has opened the build your own order configuration for the 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
