Best F150 Lighting lease deal in NE

[ElectricBuilder]

Hoping the Ford F150 Lighting hive can help out with a Massachusetts/New England specific question.

I think I am going to move forward and get myself a Ford F150 Lighting. I am an all electric home builder in MA and am currently limping along with an 18 year old Land Rover LR3 after rolling my Ram 1500 a little while back. Given the type of building I do, it's time to 'walk the walk'. At any rate, the Lighting is a great fit for my needs and I am learning towards leasing to 1) Keep my monthly costs lower and 2) Not bet on technology that will inevitably evolve.

I am curious if anyone here can share details of a good lease deal they got lately. Preference is for Flash trim level for the extended range battery, heated seats and steering wheel and some of the other nice features. This is 3 years of my driving/work life of course. Color preference is Antimatter blue, Carbonized Gray in that order not that it matters for this topic.

Any insight on how to wring the best possible pricing/payment out of a lease on one of these would be appreciated.

Hey Joe,
I'd check out Faith's in southern VT. It was the only dealer that I could find in NE that would include the $7500 federal rebate in the lease. I'm a VT resident, so there are some added incentives, but we stacked them all and I was out the door with a 3 year lease and 12k miles for under $500. No money down, just the first lease payment.
We stacked the federal rebate as the "cash down", then green mountain power $2000 rebate, I passed on the free charger for another $2000, student $500 and personal rebate of $3500. No X plan or anything else. I also asked for a free tonneau cover since it was the last day of the month.
All in all it was $15,700 off. And I didn't pay delivery fee.

This seems like a great deal. I am going to check them out.

I did not realize other dealers were not including the $7,500 federal rebate. I assumed they all had to be to be getting to $600-ish payments on a $70K truck.

I just leased a Flash from Balise Ford in Hyannis, but I also priced with Quirk in Quincy. I had $11K in incentives (X-plan and a private cash offer), $2800 off MSRP for X plan, and put down an equivalent amount to the $7500 state incentive. I ended up putting another $2500 cash down, so my lease payments including MA excise tax are well under $400 per month. Since the dealers are all pulling from the same pool I would bet anyone could find the truck you want in the color you want. I specifically wanted 9.6 kW onboard power and max tow, no problem.

If you don’t have an avenue for X plan try Costco‘s car buying service.

Are you saying you put down $10K in total ($7,500 for the state incentive + $2,500 of your own money)? That's more than I am comfortable putting down in a lease.......if I have that right, also seems like it should have penciled out much lower than $400/month. What am I missing?

Yes, $10K down total, $7500 I’ll get back from the state rebate. The extra $2500 cash dropped my lease payment. I actually wanted to just prepay my lease, but Ford Motor Credit won’t allow more than 30% down. The lease payment itself was well under $300 with the sales tax, ford collects MA excise tax over the full lease term. Excise adds $3372 or $93.67 per month to my lease.

I just replied to your DM. I think I misunderstood that you folded in/put down the $7,500 from the state as well.
