GM SmartBuying a Cadillac SRX by unixman
Apr 15, 2005 (4:27 am)
Hi all,
 
I need to understand / confirm some details on how the GM Smartbuy works - but more importantly, need to understand the flow of formulas/numbers as the monthly payment is determined. Assuming MSRP of the vehicle is 51545, 0 down, taxes (8.625% in NYS, right ?) rolled into the payment, APR is 3.95% (money factor is unknown, but I figure 3.95 / 2400 = 0.001645 (is that right ?), term 36 months, 15k miles. Any clues ? Thank you in advance.

Clueless regarding leasing by topcook
Apr 15, 2005 (5:58 am)
How do I negotiate a fair leasing price. (I'm looking to lease a Toyota Matrix.) I was having difficulty in navigating through the massive amount of information on your website. Perhaps it's because I'm at work and don't have as much time as I'd like to read thru everything and, I don't have enough time at home to get onto my computer either. Any help you or someone else can provide would be most appreciated. This is the first time I'm doing something like this. HELP!! Oh, thanks in advance.

Car_Man,
 
Can you give me the same numbers for the CRV, both the EX AWD and SE AWD versions?
 
I want to compare it since it's in the same price range, and see if it's a cheaper vehicle to lease.
 
Thanks again!

you say turn it in then buy it back as a BMW CPO but can I still certify it if I buy out the car early from the lease or does this only work for leased cars? should i wait until the car is 3 or 4 years old to certify it?
 
btw, the guys at the dealership were surprised I knew about this little secret of buying it back as a CPO. they were trying to convince me that the third party warranty by GMAC would be better. some how i think this was a sales pitch.
 
thanks.

Here is a good post from someone that turned in his leased car to his dealer, then bought it CPO from him.. He worked out the whole deal in advance..
 
Warning... this might be hard to pull off as well as he did..

You could do it early, but it would likely cost more money. You just have the dealer buy it out, then CPO it, and you buy it from them. The BMW CPO program extends for 2 years after the factory warranty ends, so it does not matter when you CPO it - the warranty goes until 6 years from in-service date and 100k miles.
 
If you wait until lease end and turn it in, BMWFS will offer the car to your turn in dealer - NORMALLY at a price that is lower than your buy out price was. This difference can help cover the CPO fee, anything needed on the car to make it pass CPO, and dealer profit. If you were really lucky, it might cover it all.
 
Like I said, the used car manager at the BMW dealer should be able to give you and idea of what they are being offered and for what amount around the time of your turn in. Then you can work with them on the turn in and CPO buy out.
