Buying a 2011 Ford Escape, and saving $2500 off of MSRP.
Experience with dealer
In addition to the 2000 saved from the dealer also received the Costco Discount of 1000
When buying, check the residual values (what the manufacturer thinks the vehicle will be worth) of lease returns for the same vehicle to get an indication of future value
Debated between this vehicle (Escape) and a Fusion that was almost exactly the same price. When I checked the residual values for leases, I found the three year residual value of the Escape to be 44 percent and three year residual value of the Fusion to be 31 percent. Since we trade every three years purchasing the Escape became automatic.
