Here you go, bama12. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Cadillac Escalade AWD with 10,000 miles per year are 6.15% and 60%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are 6.15% and 59%. General Motors is currently providing a $1,500 cash incentive on leases of this truck through GMAC. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating the capitalized cost for your lease. It is difficult to say what GM's future incentives on the Escalade will be like. Its current program on it is scheduled to run through July 9th, but I would not be surprised if GM made an unscheduled enhancement to its incentives some time in May. This wouldn't necessarily have an impact upon the Escalade and it may or may not happen, but I have a hunch that it will.

Hey Car Man,
 
I have a 2005 escalade that i pay $710 a month for. My lease is up this month and I am looking to roll into a new escalade (as fully loaded as possible). Here's my problem...for some odd reason I decided to get an 06 benz cls. I do love the car and i've had it over a year. however, my lease is up in june 08 on the benz and i'd like to roll that into the new escalade lease. I owe around 17k on the benz and would like to know what my options are. I'd like to do a 48-60 month lease on the new escalade so i can keep my monthly payments down. i just can't afford the benz and a new escalade and figured if i do a longer term lease, i'd be able to keep my payments under 1000 a month. Is it possible to do this? I'd like to be between 700-900 a month if possible. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated! I'm in South Florida and have no problem taking a lease from any dealership anywhere in the US as long as they can deliver the car. Unfortunately I have to take care of everything this week so if you can be of assistance, the sooner the better!
 
Thanks again!
 
Brian

Dang - I'd trade you my '07 Escalade for our CLS. Seriously I was deciding between these very 2 cars when I got the Escalade. Too bad you are in Florida and I'm in Nebraska - we could just swap.

Anyone know if the lease cash has increased in light of the latest incentives GM introduced last week? Last time I looked there was $1500 cash-I know there is $750 additional GM employee bonus cash thru July 9. 2007, how or if this trickles down to leases is the question.

Hey Brian. I am sorry to say that it is usually fairly expensive to get out of leases well before their scheduled end dates. In order to do so, you need to purchase the vehicle that you are currently leasing from the bank that you are leasing it through. It often turns out that it costs more to do so than your vehicle is worth on the open market. Furthermore, many banks expect consumers who end their leases early to still make all, or at least the depreciation portion of their remaining lease payments. As you can see, this can get very expensive.
  
You can determine approximately how much it will cost you to get out of your CLS lease by comparing its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. You should place a call to the bank that you are leasing your vehicle through to find out its exact price. Once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values". Don't forget to check to see if you are still on the hook for your remaining lease payments. The difference between your leased vehicle's current value and how much it will cost you to buy it plus any remaining lease payments that you are obligated to pay will equal the cost of getting out of your lease right now. You may find that you are better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your lease to get another new vehicle.
 
If you do decide to lease a new Cadillac Escalade, definitely do so for 48 months instead of 60 months. GMAC's supported lease program on this truck is only available for up to 48 months. If you lease it for longer than this you will have probably have to pay a much higher interest rate.

Hi shfawaz. General Motors is still providing $1,500 lease cash on the 2007 Cadillac Escalade in July. I don't believe that the additional bonus cash for GM employees was extended though. At least I haven't seen any mention of it.

Hi Car_man.
 
I just leased an '07 Cadillac Escalade on the 9th of July, just before the latest incentives expired. I chose a 10,000 low mileage 24 month lease. The MSRP of the vehicle was $65,200 before the factory $2500 sport package discount. The dealer used this amount in calculating the lease even though the actual sticker was $2500 less. My GMS price was $54,683.65. With no money down and using a 69% instead of the 70% residual, (this unit has the 22" wheels), the residual value came to $44,988. Adding in the $595 GMAC bank fee, and subtracting both the $1500 cap cost reduction and $750 in employee bonus cash, and using the 6.15% lease rate, I calculated my payment to be $669.86 with 6% sales tax, a very attactive monthly payment considering this to be a $65,000 vehicle and no money down. Yet the dealers system came up with a payment of $675.89.
 
The dealer insists that our figures match (MSRP, GMS price, lease rate, residual, cap cost reductions), yet their system calculates a payment that is over $6 higher per month, or over $150 over the two years. How can it be possible that their system can be that much off?
 
The first contract they trotted out for me to sign showed all the figures as I calculated them, but the payment was $705.65 which after close examination, it turned out that the rent charge (interest over the two years) reflected a 6.89% rate instead of the standard 6.15%. Once corrected, the payment came to $675.65. Any ideas why such a discrepency? I calculated the payment using several reliable online lease calculators, and in the past, those lease calculators proved to be accurate within pennies-not this time.
