Now - a week later, Ford refuses to write the paper on the lease. With no rebates, no programs, the $2K premium, the lease value exceeded a 110% cap imposed by Ford. I have been called in to the dealership to pay an additional $1800+ in cash, which I have not yet paid.

The sales manager has tried every other leasing outlet he has ever used. No one will write a lease on this vehicle.

Has anyone else had success obtaining a lease on an FEH?

Thanks
If the dealer agreed to lease it and they can't find anyone to write the lease, it seems to me they should offer to reduce the price. Esp. since the *reason* they can't find a leasing company to write it is because the price is believed to be higher than the vehicle's value.
