PhillyAnt Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 So I was going to lease a 2012 Edge but my dealer was telling me that Ford is trying to really reach a certain number with Lincolns and are running some crazy incentives this month which are changing every week. This week you can get into a $48000 MKS for $499 a month. He was telling me that in 2 weeks I will be able to get a fully loaded MKX for the same price most likely. So, would you hold off and get the MKX over the Edge if its the same price? I am thinking I will but wanted to get opinions from you folks. I would think its a no brainer but appreciate your comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi PhillyAnt. :D Well, salespeople sometimes like to play fast and loose with the facts, so you need to obtain all the pricing/lease term figures (cash up front, monthly payment etc for both the MKX and Edge.) and see if they truly match up. If they do and you like the MKX styling at least as well or better than the Edge, then it is a no-brainer. Let us know what you decide and good luck. :beerchug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford adds incentives including subsidized leases for a number of reasons, but chasing a particular sales volume number for Lincoln is not one of them. They don't even do that with Fords any more. In the end, it's a crapshoot whether the deals will get better or worse. If you can afford to wait and see, then wait and see. If you like the deal now then you might want to pull the trigger now. But I wouldn't make that decision based on any speculation about future incentives because that info is never released to anybody including the dealers.

PhillyAnt Posted November 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 Thanks for the advice folks. I have really become addicted to the Edge and I want one badly. Just waiting for the right deal. I like the look of the Edge better than the Lincoln. Was considering the GMC Acadia too as they are offering 0% financing for 72 months but I really want the Edge more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWS Alpine Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 I hate the look of the MKX. You couldn't pay me to drive it. The Edge Sport is where it's at. Beautiful lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
