OK. nobody jump on me for putting alot down. I know the risks and it was imprtant for me to stay within a monthly budget. Anyway, do you think I got a fair deal? I just leased a 2008 CTS with a window sticker of $39685, I put $4500 down, 10K/mi/yr, 39 mo., for $397 mo. which icludes tax at 7%, I qualify for friends and family discount. Originally I thought it seemed like a fair deal and I ran the numbers thru a lease calculator using 63% risidual value and .00254 MFand the numbers were real close. However, when I study my lease agreement they used alot of fuzzy math to come up with the same number. BTW, the car is awesome. I just hope I got a reasonable deal. Thanks!....CJ

I purchased my Acura a couple years ago using my fax for negotiating and I'm looking to do the same for an '08 CTS. What helped me was this company that sells you a whole package of documentation on the car you're looking to buy or lease and they tell you how to strategically do all your negotiating for the price via fax. It was a huge help and it had every piece of information in it that you could ever want to know about the car. Problem is, I can't remember the name of the company and I don't have my paper work any longer. Can anybody help?

Replying to: januszj (Feb 20, 2008 11:50 am) Window Sticker $39685 Selling Price $37033 That means I got $2653 off which = 6-1/2% off sticker. But I am still asking, did I get a fair deal ? They really didn't clearly say how much my friends and family discount was. From all the numbers I have seen my monthly lease payment seemed fair. That is why I didn't try to decipher all the fuzzy math.

The '08 CTS will make me a first time Cadillac buyer. In late November '07 I saw new '07 leftover CTS's with very few options on a dealer's lot with $7000 OFF whitewashed on their windshields (roughly, say 20% off sticker). That puts a CTS in the same price ballpark (or less) than a well optioned Honda. Was that a fairly commenly available discount range on leftover '07 CTS's after the'08's were at the dealers?? |

Replying to: cjackson2 (Feb 20, 2008 4:08 pm) Many dealers are still getting full MSRP for every CTS they can get. I talked to my father's dealer In Port Richey, Fl last week. He did not have a single CTS on his lot, and he wouldn't take a cent off MSRP when his next shipment arrived. I also spoke with a dealer friend in PA who told me he can sell everyone he can get for full MSRP within a week of it hitting his lot, but he offered me $2,000 off if I wanted to order and wait. The car business is tough, so I don't begrudge a dealer for getting what he can. Nor am I upset that my friend didn't offer me as good a deal as I was able to get elswhere. What you can do depends on local demand. A dealer with ample inventory will deal, but one who has a short inventory will not.
