Hi clubmanager1. I believe that what you were told is correct, the $500 dealer cash that is available on the 2008 Cadillac CTS right now is not compatible with its special lease program. However, the lease rate that you were quoted is too high. GMAC's current base lease rate for the 2008 Cadillac CTS is 6.1%. Make sure that this is the rate that the dealer you are working with uses to calculate your monthly payment. The acquisition fee that you were quoted is high as well. The last time I checked, GMAC's base acquisition fee was only $595.

Residual value/Lease factor? by bmw3434

From what I have seen, the 2008 Cadillac CTS has a 63% residual for 10K miles and a buy rate of 6.1% for 39 months. Is this correct??? Local ads saying lease a new one for $369 per month plus tax with 3169 due at signing. Of course, this is plus plus plus. Just wanted to make sure I had the right info. Thanks in advance!!!

Lease Calculation by lsleelee

I'm a little off-put by GMAC's use of percentages instead of money factors. I know you can divide the percentage by 2400 to get an approximate money factor, but still...
 
Does anybody know of a lease calculation formula that uses the %, rather than money factor?

Hello bmw3434. The 6.1% lease rate that you mentioned is correct, but I believe that the 36 month, 10,000 mile per year residual value for a 2008 Cadillac CTS leased through GMAC would be more like 64%.

Greetings nacho2. You can look up the exact dealer invoice price of the car that you are interested in by visiting the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com. If this car's invoice price is indeed $35,000 and the dealer offered to sell you it for $36,500, it means that you are getting it for $1,500 over invoice. I suspect that you should be able to do better than that if you are in an area that has a decent level of competition. I personally would shoot for something more like $500 to $1,000 over invoice.

Ah ha, I see that you were able to get the CTS that you are interested in through General Motors' employee purchase program. This is a good thing because it means that you are going to get a great deal on your car's selling price. The money factor that you were quoted, .00254, is equivalent to an interest rate of around 6.1%. This is right in line with GMAC's current base lease rate for this car. If you like the car, I doubt that you are going to be able to do any better than the GM employee price + GMAC's base lease rate.

Did I get a fair deal? by cjackson2

OK, nobody go off on me for putting alot down. I know the risks. I just would like to know if I was treated fairly? These are the facts that I know for sure. The window sticker was $39685, I put $4500 down, 39 month lease, 10000 miles/ yr, qualified for friends and family discount, my payment is $397/mo which includes tax. Originally I thought it was a fair deal, but they sure came up with some fuzzy math on my purchase agreement to get to the $397/mo. I would really appreciate any feedback. BTW, the car is awesome!....CJ
