#48 of 948 What Should the Numbers Be?! by mlc482

Jun 22, 2006 (11:11 am)

Hello...
 
I have been looking at the Cadillac CTS over the past 6 months, but I am now for sure looking to buy in the near future. I know that I passed up the Season's Best discounts this past winter, but I was wondering if the GM adjusted MSRP's are still in effect.
 
I also saw some advertizing from the Tri-State Cadillac Dealers on their website. I live in New Jersey.
 
If you are a current non-GM lessee, we'll cover up to four remaining payments or up to $2,000 when you purchase or lease a select new and unused 2006 Cadillac vehicle.*
 
I have no idea what that means...I am not a current GM owner, so do I get $2000?
 
Anyways, I am looking at a CTS 3.6 Infrared Automatic.
 
MSRP: $34885.00
 
What figures should I be expecting? I would want to put 2,000 down and be in the mid 300's for the monthly payment on a 39 month term, preferably a 12K lease.
 
Am I in the right ballpark?
 
Thanks for your help.

Hello Car Man. I am looking at a 2006 CTS 3.6 sticker at $38,320 hoping you can run the numbers at 10k a year and 39 months. I live in SW Florida and will take the trade advise and have them cut a check back .Thanks in advance.

Yes, mlc482, the MSRPs that General Motors lowered a few months ago are still available. I believe that the advertisement that you saw means that if you are currently leasing a non-GM vehicle you are eligible to have GM pay your finally four monthly payments for you (up to a maximum total of $2,000). Unfortunately, this offer doesn't mean that you can just use the two grand to reduce your vehicle's selling price. I would be happy to give you an idea of what sort of lease payment you can expect on this car right now. It would be helpful if you were able to provide me with an approximate selling price for it though. You may be able to get an idea of how much you should pay by visiting the following discussion: "Cadillac CTS: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". If not, then just provide me with its dealer invoice price and I will run some payments for you.

Hello Pete. If you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6 through General Motors Acceptance Corp. right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.95% and 54%, respectively. If you provide me with an approximate selling price for this car, I can tell you what its monthly payment should be like.

No problem, Pete. Cadillac is no longer providing $2,000 dealer cash on this car. It's now $3,000 customer cash. It doesn't really matter through because I don't believe that either of these incentives were compatible with leases through GMAC. Having said this, GM is providing $3,000 lease cash on leases of '06 CTS 3.6L models right now. Just because this lease cash is out there does not mean that you are automatically entitled to it. The dealer that you are working with may be counting on you not realizing that this cash is available and is hoping that they will be able to keep it. Make sure that it is being taken into account. For now I will assume that it is. OK, according to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2006 Cadillac CTS 3.6L with an MSRP of $40,075 and a selling price of $34,236 through GMAC right now for 39 months with 10,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $406. You can use part of the $3,000 that you get from your trade to pay this car's first month's payment, security deposit, and acquisition fee, but you would be better off using the rest to make a couple of your payments or to supplement them because if you use it as a capitalized cost reduction you risk losing it if your leased vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered.

P.S. This price is for 15,000 mile per year, and is a true lease, not a GM Smartbuy.
