My Take: Ford wasn’t kidding when they said they would make leases more expensive from now on. Look at the MF?!? Now look at the residual!!! My questions is “WHY BOTHER?” seriously. Leasecompare.com has better rates through their 3rd party banks if you plan on leasing a Volvo. It is still VERY expensive, however, if you are a Volvo fan, chances are you will accept nothing but a Volvo. Personally, I go with what my wallet tells me I can afford. $500+ a month on a S40 OR IS250/328i/G37/A4. The choice is obvious.
