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.

Never put money down on a lease. Besides, with interest rate under 1%, who would you even want to?

Car_Man.....you're right. 36% IS horrifying. Yet I recently read that the CTS won Kelly Blue Book's award for Best Resale Value in its category (Full size car) for 2009. Something isn't computing here.

CTS lease by njitalianangel

I went to the dealership and found a 2009 CTS MSRP for $43,535. Because my dad was a GM employee I get the GMS price of $39000. The car has 2110 miles on it(a demo). They want me to pay the sales tax upfront(8%) w/ first month payment and fees which is around $3650. They are giving a $3400 rebate but the money factor is 0.725 and the residual is 38%. He got the payment to $485 for 39 months if I put the $3600 down but I want to use the $3400 as my down payment and want a better price on the car since it was a demo.
Can you tell me what kind of a deal I should be working towards and the money factor seemed very high and the residual not very good. I have not leased before and am very confused as to all the numbers, HELP!
