One more question for you. On your lease contract, it should say what rebates and/or $ amount of the rebates that were deducted from your capital cost. Do you have that figure handy? I too am coming up on a GMAC lease end soon, and am wondering if there are some program benefits that they applied to your deal that I might be also eligible for.
 
Thanks - Damon

That is my local dealer as well. Good to hear that you had a good experience there. Our salesman seems to know nothing about the new cts.

Car Man,
 
I was quoted 530/month on a 39 month lease with 10k miles a year on a CTS with an MSRP of 42,380. This figure included 7% sales tax. The first number we were given was 697, and 50/month was taken off a few times to get the price to 530. The salesman was vague about how he reached this number and didn't explain what rebates were being used towards this deal. We qualify for the Luxury Conquest of $1000 and received a $2000 coupon from GM that could be used to pay remaining lease payments or apply towards the new car.at first the salesman told us the offers could be combined, but came back and said they couldn't. We are definitely getting the run around considering someone on this board just got a near identical car from the same dealer for 484. What is a fair lease price for this car and what is the residual and MF?Thanks!!

Caddy dealerships really seem shady with their finance terms. Check the residual and money factor/interest very closely. Also, check for adders to the capital cost listed.
 
From what I can gather, the current interest rate is 5.7%. Residual for 39 mth, 10k miles is about 61-62%. for 15k miles, subtract another 3% residual.
 
use the MSRP, your sales price and your sales tax and use online lease calcs to get estimate to use as ammunition at the dealer.

I went in as a GM employee family member, so my price is fixed and very good...they proceeded to offer a 6.7% interest lease and added $600 acq fee to the cap cost. He didnt even blink when I said the interest was high. We walked as the car wasnt even at the dealership yet, but it would have been fun to haggle...I think i would have asked to walk straight into the finance manager office.
 
Good luck.

Can someone post the latest residuals for 24, 30, 36, and 39 months at 12K and 15K miles? I am about to see delivery of my new CTS and would like to be fully prepared.
 
Thanks in advance.

Sorry it took me so long from the holidays and all. BTW, from
reading this board, I do not think I got the "best" deal, however, I
really do not understand all of it anyway.
 
MSRP: 42705
GROSS CAP. COST: 38862.82
CAPITALIZED COST REDUCTION: $600. (initial cash payment)
TOTAL CAPITALIZED COST: $39534.15
ADJUSTED CAP COST/RESIDUAL VALUE: $26904.15
This is for a 39 month lease at 10,000 miles per year.
 
(Hope this is what you wanted)

Leslie12 -- not really. I am looking for the raw numbers that make up a lease payment, which are the residual values and I failed to mention earlier, the GMAC rate. Everyone pays a different price for their vehicle. In your case, you have a 68% residual, which is inline with what I am seeing, but I am looking for the residuals across a range of annual mileage, plus the loan rate.

Sounds like the car is really loaded! Nice! If you have read my posts you will see that I am not that "informed" on what is really a good deal or not. However, I know that I have a 39 month lease, same mileage, without the AWD and 18" tires. Our sales tax is 7%. I also put down $600 down. My payment is $484. per month (including tax). You are paying $100. per month more than me, which is $3600 over the life of the lease. See What the 18" tires and AWD adds to the price and divide it over the 36 months. That will tell you if it was inline with mine, which again I don't know if it is the BEST price. Keep in mind, however, it is really hard to ever get the BEST price. (Just food for thought.) Does that make sense?!?
 
Have you negotiated with any other dealer? I do know many people google "lease calculator" and plug in their numbers to see if it is a good deal. BTW, did they give you an interest rate that they were calculating your lease on? Mine was 5.75, I believe.
 
I can tell you that I drove my car for about four hours this weekend and absolutely loved it! The navigation is so much more improved than my 05 CTS, and the XM radio, (which I also had in my '05) makes the ride soooo much more pleasurable. I sang all the way down the highway! (BTW, you do know that you can pause and replay a song that you are listening to if you want to don't you?! So much fun. I guess that is how I would describe the car......SO MUCH FUN!
 
Good luck!

This is an incredible deal...in fact, it appears to be GM employee pricing of approx 12% off MSRP.
 
Taking the lease calcs as I know them today at 62% residual for 10k, 3 years and 0.00238 money factor and assuming a $600 ACQ fee rolled into the lease, your vehicle price was approx $42600...almost $6000 off MSRP or 12%.
 
As a note of reference, the above deal at MSRP would net a lease payment of $776.
