Hello,
This is what I have been offered with GM employee pricing for an awd Cadillac CTS with MSRP $38140, and invoice of $35254,residual 61%,Money Factor .00254. with a selling price of $34,281.23 and down payment $650.50, I am at a 39months/12k lease with a payment of $483 including tax in upstate NY. I was told that my net cap cost is $35,718.04 with tax minus any rebates. Seems high?

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

Carman, thank you for your help., I ordered the car and should arrive in 4 weeks. right now I am at $461.68 including tax on a 12k lease for 39 months with a drive off of only$554. The rep told me that the car will be here in March which is only good news because the Money factor could only get better and I will have a lower monthly payment than what I have now. Once again thank you for your help.

2007 CTS Lease by max1234bd

Hi,
 
I'm pretty new to buying or leasing cars so these might seem like stupid questions to most of you, but I needed some help. I've been to a few dealers websites and saw some new 2007 CTS for under 29,000. Will they still lease those 2007's and what would I expect to pay a month? I wasn't sure if they were doing any incentives or not and wanted to be a little more informed before going into the dealership.
 
Thanks.

This maybe a stupid question but can somebody point in the direction of how to use these numbers to figure out what a least payment would be? Thanks

Here is what to do.
 
Let's assume MSRP of $35k.
Residual Value of 50% = $17.5k.
36 months for lease.
4% Lease Percentage (sometimes, this is called a money factor which in this case is .04/24 = .001667).
Sell Price of Car of $33k.
$1k rebate.
$0 cap cost reduction.
$600 lease aquisition.
$500 dealer fee.
 
Capitalized Cost = $33k - $1k + $500 +$600 = $33.1k.
 
Your Monthly Depreciation = (Cap Cost - Residual )/ Months of Lease
($33.1k-$17.5k)/36 = $433.33
 
Your Monthly Interest = (Cap Cost + Residual) * Money Factor
(($31.1k + $17.5k) * 4%)/24 = $81.00
 
Total Payment = $433.33 + 81 = $514.33, before taxes.
 
In this example, I rolled the acquisition fee and dealer fee into the lease payment.
 
Your startups would be first month payment, any registration, tag, title, and security deposit.

CTS Lease Offer on "Courtesy Cars" by volonel
Feb 23, 2008 (7:07 pm)

I am looking at leasing a fully-loaded 2008 CTS that was used as a "courtesy car" during the super bowl. The msrp is $46,220; the dealer took off $1,500 as a result of the car's "courtesy" status, leaving a total price of $44,720. The dealer also offered to pay the last three lease payments on my existing CTS lease. The lease offer was $1,660 down payment, plus $719 monthly payments for 39 months (annual mileage of 12K). Fair? Thanks for any thoughts about this.
