What was your money factor rate and residual value after 2 years?

Residual value was $21,101.85. I don't know the money factor. I ended up doing a single payment lease to get the cost down even further. I paid $1272.48, including 10% PA use tax. Backing out the tax, the payment is under $50 per month! The dealer had to play with the GMAC system to make the numbers work, because the payment was so low. But other dealers could do the same thing, so it shouln't be an issue for you.

Thanks. So had you not paid the $1,272.48 your monthly payment would be around $75/month versus the under $50/ a month? I'm curious...what do you mean by a single payment lease?

A single payment lease is an upfront payment, in this case $1,272.48, which pays for the entire 24 months. There are no monthly payments. Given the relatively small amount of money involved here, it made sense.

Thanks for the information. If you don't mind me asking.....approx. how much did you save by going with a single lease payment as opposed to a monthly payment? I'd heard that there is a GMAC lease admin charge of $495? and other deposit fees involved besides tax and interest that possibly were part of your $1,272 payment? I live in IL and think my tax is based on the full purchase price of the car instead of the lease duration portion.
 
I'm going to the dealership tomorrow for some fun negotiation time and number crunching and found your information very useful.
 
Thanks

I believe that the single payment lease saved me about $10-15 per month. Good luck with the dealer. I used www.gmbuypower.com to get e-mail quotes from several dealers. When I gave them the specifics of the rebates and lease term, I got bottom-line responses within a couple hours. This saved a lot of time and B.S.

Went to two Southern California dealers today. One dealer quoted $462.65 a month and $1050.00 down for 24 months. That was with them keeping the $3500 (West Coast) rebate.
 
Second dealer was $3400 down and $299 a month plus tax (8.25%). When you figure it all out, they both wanted the same price.
 
Bottom Line: I will never buy a GM car again! They lost a good (Over 20 new cars and trucks)customer, forever.
 
I do not care if I get the "best deal" in the world, I just want to be treated fair.
 
You guys should be happy that you do not live in Southern California, because, we get ripped off left, right and center by almost everyone!
 
Sorry for the rant!

Colorado Deals on '04? by honkinunit
Jan 02, 2005 (8:13 pm)
Unfortunately, CO is in GM's Western region, which only had the $3500 rebate. gmbuypower.com shows over 50 '04 GTO's at dealers in the Denver area, so I have to believe there will be some kind of additional incentives. This is not a Colorado kind of car... Does anyone have any inside they would like to share?
 
My bottom line is this. I'll buy an M6 if I can get it for 22k. It looks like some people in the east have hit this price. I don't have a GM card (I used to have one, and cancelled it after I used the rebate to buy my pickup in '99). I'd sure be willing to get another one though, if it saved me $5000!

I just used a newspaper bottom line applied the GM card (I only qualified for $5,000 total, some I know qualified for $6,000 based on earnings). Mine still cost me only $1,600 to lease for 2 years including the Nebraska sales tax. Either that or I could have bought for about $19,700, which is less that my lease residual of $21,400 at the end of 2 years. Needed a new vehicle like another hole in the head, but couldn't resist this great of a deal. Thanks GM Card once again...

GM Card points and other stuff by 4loans
Jan 03, 2005 (9:40 pm)
What states are the people in that got the $5000 in GM points? I got a notice rounding up up $2200 in points to $3000 but not $5000. What are the incentives in CA. The GMS site showed $3500 plus low APR ending today. Was the 24 month lease that a few people mentioned something that was offered in all states.
 
What caused the increase in Horsepower from 2004 to 2005?
