#144 of 202 Incentives ahead by mbd8

Hi,
Do you see incentives getting better on 2010 models after 9/7/10 or have we peaked?
Thanks

Good question, mbd8. It's difficult to say what GM will do with its new September incentives.
 
If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that its new Sept. programs will be at least as attractive as, if not more attractive than its August programs. Again this is just an educated guess based upon the fact that August auto sales were terrible and some rumblings that I have beard about General Motors making enhancements to its offers on 2011 models next week. It's difficult to predict exactly what automakers will do with their future programs.

#146 of 202 Malibu Lease Rates by autoboy19

Nov 10, 2010 (12:50 am)

Car_man,
 
Do you have the current November lease rates for the 2011 Malibu LS and LTZ for 24 or 27 months and 15k miles per year? Is there still $1,000 Toyota Owner cash available towards leases of this model? Any other cash available for leases of this model?
 
Thanks again

I certainly do, autoboy19. Ally's November base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LS with 15,000 miles per year are 0.4% and 58%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '11 Malibu LTZ are exactly the same.
 
I haven't seen anything about the $1,000 for Toyota owners this month, but I do know that GM is providing a $2,900 cash incentive on leases of the '11 Malibu through Ally. There's additional lease cash on this car in California.

#148 of 202 Malibu Lease by pk0525

Car_Guy,
 
Could you help me with some information on Malibu leases? I am looking at potentially leasing for 24 months on either 12k or 15k per year. I am contemplating the LT1, LT2 and LT2 v6 models. I'd like to crunch some numbers. Do you have the latest lease residuals, money factors (or rate), and the new incentives for lease cash, lease cash bonus, dealer cash, etc. I have a topped off GM card and would like to know what other incentives are out there.
 
Thanks,
 
PK

I'd be happy to help you out, pk0525.
 
Ally's January base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LT1 with 15,000 miles per year are 0.15% and 56%, respectively.
 
The lease rate for an otherwise identical lease of an LT2 is the same, but the residual value drops to 52%.
 
The residual values for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.
 
General Motors is currently providing a $3,150 cash incentive on leases of these cars through Ally. There's another $1,000 cash incentive on this car for loyal customers.

Car_man,
 
Great info. but how do you lease through Ally? I called them up and was told that they couldn't provide any of these numbers (base lease rate, residual value). I was asked to contact my local dealership for any lease related questions.
 
I am new to leasing and I am wondering what numbers are determined by the dealership vs. being set by GMAC/Ally.
 
Any tips you can provide on how to go about it will be much appreciated.
 
(Considering leasing an LT2 for 24 months 15k miles/year)
 
Thanks!

You're welcome carbuyer4646. What you were told is correct. Ally odes not deal directly with the general public. If you want to lease a vehicle through it, you will have to have a dealer facilitate your deal for you.
 
The main variable that the dealership has control over on your lease is your vehicle's selling price. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Make sure to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the vehicle that you want and then have the dealer calculate your payment using its base lease rate.

Thanks for clearing that up. Since we are now in February, would you have the base lease rate, residual value and incentive for this month ?
 
2011 Malibu LT2 lease, 15k miles/year, 24 months or 36 months?
 
2011 Malibu LTZ lease, 15k miles/year, 24 months or 36 months?
 
Thanks for the information.

No problem carbuyer4646.
 
Ally's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2011 Malibu LT2 with 15,000 miles per year are 0.15% and 52%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 1.8% and 45%.
 
The lease rates for the LTZ are exactly the same, but its residual values are 56% / 48%.
 
GM is currently providing a $3,150 cash incentive on leases of this car through Ally.
