#12 of 372 Current program any good by nkny Dec 28, 2005 (4:08 am)
Hi,   I went to a dealer today and I was told the current leasing deal of the base model is 1250 down plus tax and tags which totals to about 2500 (Idont remember the exact number) and 299.00 per month for 39 months I believe.   Is this a good deal as I really dont know much about leasing.   I was told it expires on 1/3/2006 so I better act fast   Thanks in advance for your help..   Nick in NY Replies to this message: Car_man (Dec 29, 2005 3:37 am)

Replying to: nkny (Dec 09, 2005 7:34 am) Greetings Nick. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.   Make sure to find out the full MSRP and selling price of the CTS that you want from the dealer. The selling prices of leased vehicles are always negotiable, so how good a deal the lease that you were quoted is depends upon how much of a discount you are being given. While GM's current lease program does indeed only run through January 3rd, I don't expect its replacement program to be any less attractive than its current one is. It is difficult to predict exactly what automakers' future lease and incentive programs will be like, but I suspect that the salesperson who you were dealing with was trying to create a false sense of urgency to get you to purchase your new vehicle ASAP.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#14 of 372 Leasing Experience...need advice by policelady Jan 11, 2006 (2:00 pm)
Here is my leasing experience: 2002 Chevy Impala for trade-in...owed 19,000.00 and was given 11,000.00 in trade. Was told that I was 9000 negative equity from previous car deals. Lease dealer said in order to hide negative equity, they would need 1500.00 down, my vehicle and would give me a 2005 CTS new with sticker price 34,000.00 and my payments end up being 625.00 a month. What happen to me? good or bad? Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 12, 2006 3:14 am)

Replying to: policelady (Jan 11, 2006 2:00 pm) Hi policelady. I am sorry to hear that you are so upside down on your current vehicle. You probably don't need me to tell you this, but you would be much better off waiting until you are leas upside down to get a new vehicle. Having said this, I would be happy to give you my opinion on this deal, but you never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. Let me know the selling price and I'll tell you what I think.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#16 of 372 cts lease by gritter Mar 22, 2006 (6:00 pm)
hi carman i went to a cadillac dealer yesterday and was quoted on a 2.8 liter auto cts as 2639 down and 299.99 a month lease 10k a year 36 month lease. I see above me they recently ran a special for 1250 down. Do you know if they'll be running a special like that again any time soon? Replies to this message: Car_man (Apr 02, 2006 9:39 am)

#18 of 372 2006 CTS 2.8L Money Factors and Residual by dolsey01 Mar 23, 2006 (7:23 am)
Car_man,   Can you post the money factor and residual value for a 2.8L 2006 CTS, or the GM equivilent for a 36/15K lease.   Much Appreciated!!! Replies to this message: Car_man (Apr 02, 2006 9:41 am) mgro (May 02, 2006 7:51 pm) Car_man (May 18, 2006 2:28 am)

Replying to: gritter (Mar 22, 2006 6:00 pm) Hi gritter. The most recent advertised lease that I have seen for the 2006 Cadillac CTS 2.8 is $299 per month with a little over $1,500 down. Having said this, like most manufacturers' advertised lease payments, I suspect that this one leaves a little meat on the bone and can be beaten by a smart shopper who lives in an area where there is a decent level of competition. I would be happy to use GMAC's actual lease program for this car to work up a sample lease payment on it for you if you provide me with its full MSRP and selling price.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#20 of 372 Re: 2006 CTS 2.8L Money Factors and Residual [dolsey01] by Car_man HOST Apr 02, 2006 (9:41 am)
Replying to: dolsey01 (Mar 23, 2006 7:23 am) Here you go, dolsey01. If you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS 2.8L through GMAC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.95% and 51%, respectively. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: mgro (May 02, 2006 7:51 pm) Car_man (May 18, 2006 2:28 am)
