Hi qwazr. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Cadillac CTS 3.8L with 10,000 miles per year are 3.95% and 56%, respectively. The $1,700 lease cash is available on all Bose Edition CTS models. The $1,000 conquest cash is available to all owners of non-GM vehicles. These two offers can be combined. I don't believe that GM is currently offering any loyalty cash on the '07 CTS.

Hi felbie1. If you are able to get this car through General Motors' supplier purchase program, then you should be getting a good deal on it. I doubt that you will be able to do better than the supplier deal by negotiating on your own. GMAC's 39 month lease rate is the same as its 36 month rate, but its 39 month residual value is 1% lower.

Hi flightnurse. General Motors is running a special lease program on the 2007 Cadillac CTS right now. Unfortunately, the $3,000 consumer cash that you mentioned is not compatible with GMAC's special lease program for this model. Having said this, GM is providing $1,700 lease cash on Bose Edition CTS models plus an additional $1,000 conquest incentive for current owners of non-GM vehicles. GMAC's current base lease rate for the '07 CTS is 3.95%. You can plug the above information, along with the prices that you were quoted into the formula that is outlined in the following article to work up a sample payment on this car: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hi mb6. Why do you need a bigger car? If I was in your situation, I personally would rather drive the Accord into the ground than get something new. Unless you made a very large down payment on your loan, you are likely very upside down on a one year old Accord that already has 50,000 miles on it. It will be much less expensive for you to continue to drive you Accord for another couple of years than it would be to pay off any money that you are upside down on it and then put a ton of miles on a more expensive vehicle. I definitely would not lease if I drove 50,000 miles per year.

Mb6, GMAC's SmartBuy program is very similar to a lease. You probably would be best off going with a conventional loan on a car that you plan on putting 50,000 miles per year on.

Hi Craig. GMAC's base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Cadillac CTS-V with 12,000 miles per year are 3.95% and 56%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease are 3.95% and 48%. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert these lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.
the $3,000 customer cash that GM is providing on this car is not compatible with GMAC's lease program, but GM is providing a special $2,900 lease cash incentive that is. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating your car's capitalized cost.

Any information yet on the 2008 CTS? If there is I would be interested in rates and residuals for 24 and 36 mos with 12,000 miles per year.
Thanks

I'm interested in this as well.
I just went and test drove one and they said 71% for 24 months and 12k miles a year but then quoted the money factor at 6.15% which sounds high.

Carman,
Can you please respond to the 2008 CTS lease data? I'm interested as well in lease rates and residuals for 36 mos at 10K and 12K miles/yr.

I was quoted as follows:
24 month/15k miles: residual value 69%
36 month/15k miles: residual value 59%
I was also told the interest rate was 5.9%.
