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.

I think you are assuming that all the discount comes off the MSRP when in fact the dealer has quite a bit of leeway in terms of adjusting the residual and the money factor/APR quoted by GM. There is dealer incentive built into every component of the lease, not just the vehicle price.
 
I did receive a supposed $1,000 rebate/incentive under Cadillac's Conquest program for current owners of a luxury vehicle (MB, BMW, Audi, Lexus) that are converting to Cadillac owners.

As I said from the beginning, I know absolutely NOTHING about this. For me I just looked at the car and decided what I was willing to pay. I found another dealer that was out of my area that gave me a number that was acceptable to me and then the local dealer (where I got my car from before) was willing to do that price. What do I think I should have gotten....probably the same deal with a total payment of $470. per month. I just wanted the car at a price I was willing to pay for it and that was that......There are things that I negotiate well, cars are not one of them! I truly believe that car salesmen are the worst!

yes, i was assuming it was cap cost reduction by the dealer. I have never seen a dealer actually beat the residual or MF listed by the manufacturers...I typically find (and did recently when pricing a CTS at GMS pricing) they mark up these rates. They tried to mark up the interest by 1%.

Current, December 2007 GMAC lease rates for CTS by soflkurtz

Does anyone have the accurate numbers for December? I was quoted 7.1% for GMAC leasing and I actually cannot believe that.
