What are the Lease terms/rates for Delaware + PA?
 
I received an ad for $3,000 current leasee $.
Could the $6,000 someone posted be that $3k + a $3k Rebate?
 
What is the residual for 10K, 12K, 15K in DE + PA?
 
Thanks!

Car man,
 
I am in FL and would appreciate the numbers for a CTS lease, 36 mths, 10k or 12k miles. If the 39 mth lease is a better value based on low mileage needs I would be interested to hear your opinion. I have not bought a US make in a long time and I am not looking forward to the endless packages and options menu but suffice it to say a "nicely equipped" car. Coming out of a BMW. Lastly, is there any info on the new CTS crossover styled vehicle.
 
Your help has been invaluable in the past and I appreciate the service you offer. Thanks.

I saw lease figures on a 2009 CTS in PA. The down payment + lease payment is much closer (about $50 a month) to a purchase. They also want a security deposit now. I don't know the lease details that Carman can provide.
It looks like any lease savings now is not enough to outweight the constraints of leasing.
 
A 39 month lease (instead of 36 month) creates a $15-20 lower payment, but then you have 3 more payments and you are shopping for a car in a different time period the next time. If you like shopping in Sept for example, to have a pick of left overs and new model year, you will want a 36 month lease, if you lease.
 
CTS has lots of options, but most of them are in packages, so you may have to accept some options you don't care for to get options you want. It looks like they are trying to make it simpler for 2010, by having a base car, a luxury version and a performace version. Coming from BMW, you will want the FE2 18" wheel option or maybe even FE3, living in FL.

Good question, smithsonga. The GMAC residual values are tough to find, but I managed to dig them up. GMAC's August residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Cadillac CTS was a horrifying 36%. This car's lease rates are indeed available for any trim level outside of the V, but its residuals vary by term.

Hi claweave. General Motors was providing a $6,000 cash incentive on leases of the 2009 Cadillac CTS through independent banks last month. This cash is not compatible with the GMAC or US Bank lease programs that have been talked about here.

Hey claweave. As I mentioned in my previous post, the six grand is not compatible with GMAC's special lease program. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Cadillac CTS with 15,000 miles per year are an extremely attractive 0.40% and an extremely unattractive 36%.
 
You should be able to lease through GMAC and take advantage of supplier pricing.

Hi artmbgolf. The GMAC lease program that has been discussed here is available in both Delaware and Pennsylvania. The $6,000 cash incentive is for leases through independent banks and as a result it is not available on GMAC leases.
 
GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Cadillac CTS with 15,000 miles per year are an attractive 0.40% and an unattractive 36%, respectively.

So what are some bottom line numbers? Considering the great lease rate and awful residual value, combined with cash incentives etc., what payments are currently being offered?

I know it's the wrong forum, car man, but what lease numbers are being offered on the new SRX?

You can rough ballpark a lease.
$50,000 X .36 residual (15k miles) = $18,000
 
If you pay $42,000 - $18,000 = $22,000 owed.
Add about $2,000 interest = $24,000 owed
$24k / 36 = $666
With $3600 down, payment goes to $566, but no real savings.
 
The residual on this used to be about 52% in 2007, higher for 10 + 12k miles.
 
Ask your dealer to see the residuals page. Then you can decide the number of payments. They don't negoiate the residuals. GMAC sets them. They should not be a secret any more than the MSRP.
