Hey Craig. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Cadillac CTS with 15,000 miles per year are 6.1% and 69%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 6.1% and 59%. When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $500 owner loyalty / conquest cash promotion that is available on it right now.

Car man, in post #274 you list the 36mo/15K numbers as 59% and 6.1% and in post #273 you list the 36mo/10K numbers as 64% and 6.1%. Usually the difference between 10K and 15K residuals is 3%, not 5%.
 
Was one of these posts a typo? Was the earlier post written based on the April program before the May program came out? Are both correct?
 
Also another question, if you could : I hate how GMAC quotes lease rates in interest rate instead of money factor. 6.1% equates to 0.00254, right? The further 1% that the dealership is allowed to mark that up equates to 0.00042? Alternately, could you provide me with a formula for calculating a lease using % rather than MF?

May CTS residuals are 24m=69 , 30m=64 , 36m=59 , 48m=50. Money Factor is 6.1% or .002984.
 
I dont have the formula to use a percentage but take the percentage and divide it by 2044 to get the money factor.

div by 2400 to get the %
multiply by 2400 to get the MF

Other way around, I think...
 
Multiply the MF by 2400 to get the %
Divide the % by 2400 to get the MF

Well, after a quick test drive, I'm in love with the CTS. I am frustrated though with the lease dollar amount the dealer gave me today vs the calculations I've done at home.
 
I am working under the assumption that the residual for a 24 month/15k mile lease is 69% with an interest rate of 6.1% (MF 0.00254).
 
The MSRP of the car is $50,285
My GMS (thank you Mom and Dad) price is $44,259.23
 
My tax rate is 5.5%
 
The dealer is quoting me $700 per month with tax and my calculations have me at $631.90. I could be missing a fee or two, but not by that much.
 
Am I screwed up?
 
Any help would be appreciated

Can you get a CTS lease with zero down?

631.90 would be if you pay all of your inception fees upfront...around $1550. I would advice you to do so since your interest rate is rather high.
If you do $0 at signing, your lease payment will be $700.
 
ZERO down is not the same thing as ZERO drive-off.

Hi gregcts. One can lease basically any vehicle that they want without making any sort of down payment aka capitalized cost reduction. Having said this, even with a zero down lease consumers still have to pay their vehicle's first month's payment, security deposit, and GMAC's $595 acquisition fee at signing. Most of these fees can be rolled into the vehicle's capitalized cost rather than paid at signing, making them part of the monthly payment if the lessee wants.
