You should have put on drag slicks! I breeze by Mustangs, Camaros, Porsches, you name it, every day....in the California HOV lanes!

I have a 33 mile commute and I am seeing about 3-5% more battery remaining when I get home. Other improvements include climate control, sun visor, quieter cabin, door cupholders, storage, and more.

I am about to return my 2013 and had it inspected by Ford's 3rd party lease inspector. I talked to an agent at Ford Credit about buying the car out at a lower price and was told that there is pretty much no chance. I guess Ford is writing these things off. There is currently a $3500 rebate from...

FYI the 2015 models have a larger visor which also telescopes out. Much much better than previous year versions. I would recommend upgrading to this unless you absolutely need Homelink.

Thanks for your input, Yellowzx5. With that many leases, perhaps they are presuming that you're going to lease another Ford.

Have any of you 2012/2013 owners been offered to terminate your lease early? Ford offers this to lessees, usually 3-4 months before the lease end date, in order to get them into another Ford. My lease ends in 11 months and I am hoping that they offer this to me.

I just looked at my residual and it's $19435! :o Right now 2012 FFE'S are wholesaling at an average of $12k for 2012 models at Manheim, with an average of 17k miles. So a year from now my 2013 will likely be worth $10k with 39k miles. If Ford Credit doesn't want to sell the car back to me at a...

Since Ford pretty much destroyed the values of 2012 and 2013 models by dropping the current prices by $10k, I was wondering if anyone has returned their car at lease end and been offered to purchase it at a price lower than the residual. My lease is ending a year from now and I am debating on...

I forgot to mention that it is not the EVSE. I already tried with another EVSE. With regards to Ford, it seems to be a corporate policy as far as what they deem covered for a loaner car, so it's not necessarily a dealer issue. Admittedly, I have mainly owned German cars so I suppose I am "used...

Thanks, I will try that. By the way, I called another dealer (Frontier Ford) and they also have a week waitlist and cannot authorize a loaner. I was thinking about getting a 2015 F-150 but will not buy another Ford again.

So here's what happened: 1) Check my MyFordMobile app. Tells me my car has a "charge fault." 2) Go to car, all sections of charge ring are blinking. 3) Turn on car, yellow wrench light on. 4) Verified car will move. 5) Plug in my level 2 charger again. No charging lights. Car will not charge...

My residual is $19.5k. In March 2016 with 45k miles, I think this car will wholesale in the low teens. At $0.20 per mile, I could just pay the penalty of $3k but since Ford pretty much killed the value of these cars, I am hoping that they will offer to sell the car to me at a much lower price.

Hi all. I am midway into my 3 year lease and it's looking like I will be about 10,000 miles over my limit by the time the lease is over (I commute 70 miles a day). I notice that Ford has lowered the price of these cars and is even offering $6000 factory rebates. So basically it would cost more...

Assuming 10k miles/year, that is the best deal I have seen so far. Seems to good to be true.

Interested. How much and where are you located?
