Hey Car_man,
 
Just wondering what the RV's and MF's are for the following...
'06 Mailbu LS Sedan 36mo/12k and 36mo/15k
'06 Malibu Maxx LT 36mo/12k and 36mo/15k
 
Also, with deep discounts on the '05 models ($3250 rebate) are leases on the 05's worth it? (MSRP $23,345, probably looking at $19,500 as a Cap Cost)
 
Thanks in advance.

Hey meuseman. If you were to lease either a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Sedan or a Chevrolet Malibu Maxx through GMAC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 4.0% and 53%, respectively. The lease rate for an otherwise identical lease with 12,000 miles per year would be the same, but the residual value would be 3% higher. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. When negotiating your lease on either of these cars, keep in mind that GM is currently providing $500 lease cash on these models that will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost. This lease program is really nothing to write home about. If I was in the market for a new Malibu I personally would probably finance a 2005 model at 0% for 5 years or take advantage of the $3,250 customer cash that is available on the '05 rather than lease an '06 model.

Hey car_man,
 
I was wondering when you get a chance if you'd be able to post the numbers for a 15000/36 month lease on a Malibu LTZ and an LTZ Maxx. I'm in Michigan if you need that for any incentives that may be in effect for the month of December.
 
Thanks!

Hey gerardm. Here is the information that you are looking for. If you were to lease a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ through GMAC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 4.0% and 53%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a Malibu Maxx would be exactly the same. I don't believe that GM is currently providing any cash incentives on leases of this exact model, but it does qualify for "Red Tag Event" pricing.

Hello jpatrick1. GMAC, General Motors' captive finance company, does not use money factors to calculate vehicles' lease payments. It publishes lease rates instead. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. If you were to lease a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx LT through GMAC right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.7% and 56%, respectively. I do not believe that GM is currently providing any cash incentives on leases of this car right now.

Are there still lease deals on '06 malibu LT sedan? What are the residuals and Money factors for 27 and 36 months. Any lease or bonus cash?
Also, can anyone let me know what they are for an '07 Malibu Maxx SS. I am looking at 27 and 36 months, 15K miles a year.
