and I had a Rental, and the company didn't mind that I dropped it off almost 2 hours away , our insurance company gave us an Enterprise car and told us its fine to drive it to Aurora from Georgetown and leave it at the enterprise next door to the dealer we bought the wagon from

Yup - it's Enterprise - tried negotiating with them every which way -- I got them down to $180 from 250 for a drop off charge -- uh, yeah, thanks a lot.

I took over the lease of a 2008 Fusion SEL, 2.3, 5-speed manual - not the car of my dreams but it was such an amazing deal ... the former lessee had put a down payment and so the payments are 282 per month ... plus I got a $4,000 incentive paid cash from the dealer - - 3800 after paying to have the car shipped.

So with that deal, and with the replacement value insurance rebate I'll get from Ford Credit (about $5,000), and then with the refund of my ESP -- LOL I'm walking away from this accident pocketing about $11,000 -- pretty ironic if you ask me.

BTW - if anyone is interested in a similar deal ... Ken Knapp Ford in Essex has a 2007 Focus available for a lease take over -- and the cash rebate is $8,500 - - yup.

Sparky - - I assume you were in the plant there - - was it the engine plant?

Edit: looks like that Focus lease take-over is gone - - I was going to post a link but it's not on the leasebusters.com website anymore.
