rampagex7 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I just got a disappointing call from the sales manager at our dealership on Friday, apparently they have been advised by Ford that there will be no leasing programs offered on the new 2021 Mach E through Ford Credit here in Ontario. When they finally arrive you will only be able to purchase or finance them. Apparently he said this looks to be the case in all provinces Canada wide, except Quebec because Quebec offers an $8000 EV rebate so you can lease them in Quebec but nowhere else. We have two Mach E's on order for our company with one of them supposed to land very soon and the plan was to lease them as we have two 2018 Escapes coming off lease soon and am really not interested in purchase or financing for various reasons. I really hate to walk away from such an exciting new vehicle but if Ford wont lease them to us it looks like we have to walk. Has anyone else heard about this? I'm curious if anyone else can corroborate it somehow. Is it just the Canadian market affected by the "lease ban" or are they able to be leased in the US?

fuzzymoomoo Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 They’re offering leases but it's not a lease in a traditional sense. I can't remember how exactly it works but someone else here can definitely answer that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sullynd Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Google Ford Options, though I’m not sure whether that’s offered in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the buyer gets any govt rebates not Ford so it won’t subsidize the payments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if there's a different arrangement for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pina Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I've been told by my dealer that leasing is available for the 2022's in Canada which is why I waited to place my order. That said he hasn't been able to find any terms/rates etc and is hoping they are populated soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
