Summer is heating up, the kids are going nuts and the lawn sprinkler isn't cutting it anymore.
There are plenty of water parks in the area to slip-slide your summer away, and here are a few suggestions to get you on the path to a wet 'n' wild summer.
So grab a good read and your sunscreen and hit the parks. Before you go, check the websites for rain-out policies and other rules including regulations on flotation devices, swim masks, swim diapers, coolers and outside food and drinks.

Paulo Coelho, Author of The Alchemist, Briefly Ripped Off an NYC Startup
Paulo Coehlo, the highly-acclaimed Brazilian novelist behind The Alchemist, has more than 10 million "likes" on his Facebook page and almost 7 million followers on Twitter. A few hours ago, all those social media fans saw Mr. Coehlo share a manifesto on Facebook and Twitter. He also made it the background of his Twitter profile.
Since Mr. Coehlo included his name in big, red font at the bottom of the post, his followers could be forgiven for assuming he had written it. However, the manifesto is actually the copyrighted work of Holstee, a New York City-based lifestyle goods company that describes itself as "pursuing our dream for a sustainable & united planet."

Ford Escape Lease Questions
wnuk Posts: 40Just Leased a Kodiak Brown SEL AWD with 302A, MFT w/Nav, and aluminum wheels. A 24 month lease with 15,000 miles the MF was .00083 (2%) and the residual was 65 % . For each additional 1,500 miles beyond 15,000 and up to 19,500 deduct 1% from the residual.
So my deal was for 24 months @ 19,500 miles per year for a residual of 62%. I bought an extra 500 miles per year for a total of 40,000 miles in 2 years. The residual did not change you just pay .15 cents per mile after 19500.
MSRP with destination was $33,430. Settled on $31,200 sales price. I did not have a competitive lease bonus of $1000. So the sales price was very fair.
Hope this helps some -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hi cricfan777. Ford Credit's August base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 Escape Titanium AWD with 15,000 miles per year in Michigan are 2.0% and 64%, respectively.
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 4.0% and 57%.

Unfortunately, the $1,000 consumer cash incentive is not compatible with the special lease program.

reign Posts: 20I was given a quote (via email) on a 36mo lease for a 2013 escape 302a pkg w/ 18" polished wheels. I gave internet manager all infor I wanted ($0/down, TTL rolled into payment). AFter I rec'd his quote, I then went in to dealership (Westway ford) in Irving to look at that specific escape. After my credit check was done (excellent score) and salesman came back to have me sign a form stating that if my monthly pymt was x, for this term, and x amount for my trade-in, could we do business today and I said yes and signed it. 1min later, the sales manager came in and told me (lie from what I've read on this forum) and told me Ford is not leasing this escape because its a "new body style" and no residual value has been determined. His price on the purchase was well over $170 more/mo than what I wanted to pay. I also told him of his BS (no residual value since its a new body style) because Mazda has a "new style" CX-5 and they are leasing them. I walked out of there angry because of the time I had wasted, especially after receiving an email quote (mo lease payment) from their internet manager. I will never shop at this dealership..Westway Ford in Irving, TX because of their lies and low-balling.
alighter Posts: 2Hello Car_Man, I am a big fan of this forum. I am working on a deal right now for my wifes new car, and could use your advice.
I am looking to lease a 2013 Ford Escape SEL with FWD, 302A, 1.6, Sunroof, and 10.5k miles a year. Through a combination of $2.7k in equity(combo of trade & cash), and negotiation, we have arrived at a $275 monthly payment as an out the door price. Is this a good deal, or should I pass? I am also located in the mid-atlantic.
Thanks in advance for any guidance -
crayola_1 Posts: 1I'm about to lease my first car and am trying to tell if I am being offered a fair deal. Would anyone be able to tell me what the residual value and lease rate would be for a 2013 Ford Escape SEL with 300a package, AWD, 1.6 L engine, sunroof ( MSRP 31,840) for a 39 m lease, 15,000 miles. I am in the Connecticut area and have excellent credit. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
gee22 Posts: 82Because of your trade, no one would be able to comment on whether it is a good deal or not. For example, if you are trading in a clunker and the dealer is giving you $2K for it, then your $275 payment is probably a great deal, but if you were trading in a 2012 Mercedes and getting $2K, the dealer could lease you the Escape for a penny a month and still make a big profit on the deal. I'm sure you're not trading in a Mercedes but you get the point.

rugger_mike Posts: 2Looking at leasing the 2013 Escape Titanium 4WD loaded with tech, parking, leather seats, towing package. 36 month, 12000 miles. I'm in the midwest (52241). How much room is there for negotiation at the dealer with these numbers? I've never leased before and I'm just curious how the haggling process goes compared to buying. Thanks!

asagem Posts: 10I am trying to figure out if this is a good deal in Metro Detroit area?
2013 Ford Escape SE 2.0L FWD
Options: 3920
(201 Cargo management Package: 440
Ruby Red additional Charge: 395
2.0l Engine charge: 1095
Power Panorama Roof: 1395
18" Aluminium Wheels: 595)
Destination Charge: 825
Total MSRP: 29815
I do not know the residual value & money factor used and he quoted me the following:
24 month, 15K miles
500 due at signing and monthly would be $350/month OTD (including everything)
I could only qualify for x-plan and there $1000 customer cash offer from Ford and not sure what else he was able to do it.
How I can reverse calculate the selling price from the payment as I have never leased before.
Thanks. -
explorerx4 Central CTPosts: 10,002Just ask what the residual is. Good place to start to figure out the numbers.
Clicked on the Escape ad on this page found this info.
"Lessee has option to purchase vehicle at lease end at price negotiated with dealer at signing."
I think it can kind of complicate things.
There is a general leasing forum here somewhere. -
CarMan@Edmunds Posts: 38,515Hey cliffpoz. Ford's lease program varies depending upon which one of its million regions you are in. If you tell me what state you live in I can be more specific about its lease program.
Ford Credit's December base lease rate and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Escape Titanium with 10,000 miles per year are 2.0% to 4.0% (varies by region) and 60%.

sixxspeed Posts: 1Hi Car_man thanks for helping us! I was also looking for Money Factor and Residual Value on a 36-month lease @ 15,000mi for 2013 Escape SEL AWD. MSRP w/ dest and the options I want is $32,935.
I am in NJ and have good credit.
Are Ford dealers in my region kind with nixing any acquisition, disposition, and other stupid fees?
If I trade-in a vehicle, do I want to ensure the price I get is applied to cap cost reduction or goes towards paying the fees, taxes, etc? I'm confused when it comes to either calculating down payment and trade-in on leases and what to do with what I get from the trade.
Thanks! -
taylor954 Posts: 1Dear CarMan
I'm looking at an Escape Titanium with MSRP 35,770. With X plan it comes to 33866.18
The only incentive to lease is 500.00. Can you please give me money factor and residual for this car. Is X plan the best price you've seen on this car or have other negotiated lower?
I'm in Fort Lauderdale 33334.
Thank you in advance.

"Good explanation of process from start to finish." "I liked the availability of NIH staffers at all functions. They were open and engaging - very much appreciated." "The Program was excellent overall, extremely pragmatic, concrete, and applicable, and thus VERY useful for a new investigator." "The conference has been great. As a pre-award administrator the information I have rec'd in session geared towards PIs will ultimately help me help the PIs @ my institution. Makes my job easier." "This was my first regional seminar and it exceeded my expectations. It put a friendly face on NIH faculty, allowed me to meet folks from all over the world, and the questions and comments "between the slides" were the most helpful!" "Fabulous! I wished I'd been in attendance when I was learning everything on my own. And I greatly appreciate being able to give feedback on what is useful and does/doesn't work." "The topics helped me to put a lot of what I do into a comprehensible context." "I was very impressed with the quality of the speakers and their knowledge." "Overall, a great meeting for new investigators!" "Excellent-wide range of topics. Wish I could have attended more."
