I'm paying $180/mo leasing my 2016 ST.
The combination of the incentives and they way they calculate the lease terms makes for an interesting option.
Normally when one leases a $22,000 car, the residual value is about 50% of the price, $11,000
So with a lease you only fay for the difference between the price and the residual value, in this case $11,000
But when there is a $3,000 incentive involved you are really only paining $19,000 for the car, so I would assume that the residual value would be 50% of that, or $9,500
And thus you would pay $9,500 over therm of the lease.
But thats not the way Ford Credit does it. They keep the residual at $11,000, so you only have to pay $7000 over the term of the lease
Furthermore, most states only charge sales tax on the lease payments and down payment not the full value of the car
Fords web site is great, and will show you the full price of cars on your local dealers lot, and incentives, and the terms for financing and leasing.
Of course there are a few downsides to leasing. It's not really your car, so mods are a waste of money
And you need pretty good credit.
