under forums "prices paid" there should also be a real world driving experience forum for the silverado discussing mpg. 13.5 would be realistic with lots of city driving. Lotsa highway I would imagine 18 or better.
 
Good luck

I got an 08 Z71 Crew Cab in April. Lightly loaded I've been getting 15 mpg for city driving and 18 mpg for highway. I've been pretty happy with the truck, money well spent and I figure I only got around $7500 off MSRP.

It's all about how you drive on what gas miliage you get. I can hold mine at 50mph in V4 mode and get about 26mpg, it gets about 22-23 in V4 mode at around 70mph, but once in V8 mode, it gets 18-20mpg.
I haven't had mine very long, but it seems like 15 around town and 18-21 average on the highway would be normal. But if you have a heavy foot, and drive at 80mph on the highway, I bet all you would get is 13-15mpg.

Dude, that's a great deal. What was your selling price? Residual? Term?

I'm not really sure, didn't look at it that close. I get GMS and there are $5000 in rebates. So it must have been around 22K. I leased it for 39 months and 10K miles per year.

That monthly payment is simply not possible. I'm not completely sure of the current residual and money factor but going off the May numbers here's what I come up with:
 
You say the truck was the Ext. Cab All-Star Edition 2WD and had a sticker price of $30,110. GMS price would at best be $28,000. You also said you got $5,000 in rebates. So, that would mean cap cost of $23,000 NOT EVEN INCLUDING ACQUISITION FEE, minus a GENEROUS? 57% residual of $17,162.70 = $5,837.30 divided by 39 = $149.67. Rent Charge at 4.75% would be $79.49 which would make your pre-tax payment $229.16 per month. Add even 7% sales tax and you are at $245.20
 
$245.20 a month would be the best case scenario. Add in acquistion fee and lower residual for the 39 month, even though it was the 10,000 miles, and actual GMS price closer to $29K and you are over $250 easy.
 
If you put down money just say you did. I don't get why people come on here and lie about their deals.
 
As I tell everyone who lies about their lease payment...POST YOUR LEASE CONTRACT NUMBERS LINE BY LINE. IF YOU ARE LYING, THE NUMBERS WILL TELL THE TALE.

I don't think anyone is regularly lying about their deals. They could be leaving out down payments, taxes paid and such but there aren't many posts on this board from regular purchasers, much less liars.
 
7000 off msrp was an ok deal the last few july's. Nothing to write home about. With these machines in freefall, and many dealers not taking them in trade, a true 9000 off deal, generous residual and 2% instead of 4.75% subsidized rate off a new lease is not inconcieveable, especially if the dealer needs to make a sale to meet a target for the month. Or in a heavy truck region. I would have thought he left off the down payment too in previous years but for 20mpg trucks (especially domestic with probably a 1million+ truck overcapacity) it wouldn't surprise me now.
 
Good luck

I see in some posts the abbreviation ,GMS,what does that mean, I see it on a sheet the dealer gave me,and yes I forgot to ask him what that meant. I am turning in my Chevrolet 2500HD 4x4 on July 3rd ,it is a "03" ,so am looking at better gas mileage ,than 11 mpg.,it has the 6.0 in it, I wanted to buy it from the bank,but,there price on it was crazy,15,500.00,since they said they were going to send it to the auction anyways ,I wanted to see if they would discount it ,but ,hell no,they would rather take a loss at the auction,go figure!!

Well first off, GMS price was 26,708, but I think this has the $2000 rebate applied, but my paper work doesn't say that anywhere, it just says my GMS price was26708.
I paid my security deposit, lisence plate fee, tire warrenty, doc fee and first months payment up front for about $889 (had to buy a new plate$$). If you knew a little about math, you would find that you give money away if you put money down on a lease.
So here's your line by line striaght off my contract.
a. Gross cap cost..........27577.23
b. cap cost reduction.....$4200 (3000 loyalty cash plus 1200 all star edition cash)
c. adjusted cap cost......$23377.23
d. residual value.........$19567.20
e. depreciation etc.......$3810.03
f. rent charge...............$3118.17
g. total base of monthlypayments .....$6928.20
h. lease payments .................36 (sorry, i think I said 39 initially)
i. base payment....................$192.45
j. tax.....................................$11.55
Total........................................$204
 
You have to remeber that right now the LT1 with the power pack and the all star pack have extra discounts.
 
This site is to help folks out about cars and trucks. I got a lot of info off here before I leased this, which I am greatful for. It is just really sad that some folks try to pump thier egos up by trying to make someone look bad, when in this case, this guy didn't get all the info, and now needs to say he is sorry to me... Next time buddy, just ask nicely to fill in all the gaps. As you can see, I am more than happy to show you how I got my payment.
