Hi emailscott. Here's the information that you're looking for. Ally's June base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu 1LT with 15,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 44%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an LTZ are 1.0% and 47%.
 
The residual values for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year are 2% higher.
 
When negotiating your deal on this car, make sure to take the $3,150 cash incentive that is available on leases of it through Ally into account.

#167 of 201 2011 Malibu leasing vs. finance by ceasar24

Jun 26, 2011 (3:54 pm)

Car_Man:
 
Thank goodness I came across this site. I'm going crazy over here being jerked around...
 
I was originally looking to finance a 2011 Malibu LS- no bells or whistles (perhaps the stupid spare tire options :-/ ) The dealer started off with 22k+, (I'm confused b/c the Chevy site shows starting price at $21,975, then shows $20,735 when I go to "build it") then mysteriously went down to 19995 b/c I said when I called a rep on the phone said they have vehicles ranging from high "teens" to 25k. I told him that was high "nine"teens, not teens.
 
Any hoot, I called other dealers and they said something doesn't sound right - that car could never be sold for that low and it must be with the rebates ($2k) currently being given (on Long Island, NY) and with that being said, I would never be given that rate at the current 0% financing for 60 months - it's either one or the other. So which is it, and am I being jerked around? I was looking to put around $3500 down on the vehicle as well, so my monthly payment would be around $280...but that's if it's possible to actually buy this car at 18,500 or not. I thought the new Malibu is coming out - they should be giving this car away. Isn't that the point of 0% finance offers anyway - to move the cars off the lot??
 
If I lease (which I prefer not to do) the offer is the following:
 
2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU w/1LS
 
Low-Mileage Lease for Qualified Lessees
$179/month 39 month lease.
 
$1,800 due at signing (after all offers). >>>
Tax, title, license, dealer fees and optional equipment extra.
Mileage charge of $0.18 /mile over 12,000 miles.
 
If I lease shouldn't I be able to lower the base price of the car to get a better lease rate? Also what is the Mfactor on this car? I went to a Hyundai dealership and they wouldn't tell me theirs - I laughed and said you have to, it's what we call "full disclosure" and walked out!
 
Lastly, what would the residual value be on a 39 month lease w/ 12k miles per year on the Malibu LS?
 
I know I'm all over the place with this message, but perhaps you can answer or comment on as much as possible.
 
Dazed and confused ----thanks in advance for your help!

Hi ceasar24. According to Edmunds.com, the MSRP of a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LS is $22,835. Its dealer invoice price is $21,724.
 
http://www.edmunds.com/chevrolet/malibu/2011/options.html?trim=ls&sub=sedan&styl- e=101327237
 
The dealer was correct that the 0% financing that General Motors was providing on this car in June was not compatible with the $2,000 consumer cash.
 
Through July 5th, Ally's base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LS with 15,000 miles per year were 1.0% and 44%, respectively.
 
GM is scheduled to introduce new programs tomorrow, July 6th. Please feel free to check back with me later this week and I will be happy to provide you with an update on what the new programs are like.

Car-Man,
 
Looking to lease a 2011 Malibu. My US News price for an 1LT is $17,911. What are the base lease rates and residual value for this vehicle today? I've been to the dealer and negotiated the price and car that I like, but am concerned they will take me for a ride when we put together the lease.
 
HELP!

#171 of 201 2012 Malibu LS lease by knc90s17

Jan 10, 2012 (11:48 pm)

Car Man,
 
Can you tell me the current money factor and residual on a 24 and 36 month lease on a 2012 Chevy Malibu LS. Do these rates change for the LT package?
 
Chevy is advertising a national lease special on a 2012 Malibu LS of $179/month for a 24 month 12k lease with $1,539 due at signing (after all offers). Would this include a loyalty rebate and competive lease rebate which I wouldn't qualify for??
 
Thanks for your help

I'd be happy to help you out knc90s17. Ally's January base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu LS with 12,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 58%, respectively.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical 36-month lease are 1.1% and 47%.
 
When negotiating your deal, make sure to take advantage of the $3,895 cash incentive that is currently available on 24-month leases and $3,470 that's on 36-month leases of this car through Ally. I believe that there's another $570 on top of that on the LS trim level. And as you mentioned, there's another $500 for loyal customers. I suspect that the competitive lease incentive may not be compatible with the loyalty incentive. If that is indeed the case, then go with the competitive lease offer, which is more attractive at $1,000.

Car Man,
 
Thanks for the information. I have been researching the Malibu a little more and have determined that the 1LT model may actually be a better deal. The 1LT model has an "ALL-STAR PACKAGE" that has a saving discount of $500 on the sticker price. I heard that "Package savings" in leasing is like putting that money down on the vehicle because you add that savings on top of the MSRP. Is that True?? Additionally I heard that there is another $1000 dealer cash on the LT models that is not available on the LS model.
 
Are the residual values and money factors the same on the LT models? And is there really an additional $1000 on the Lt models? Lastly, is my information on the Package Savings correct?
 
Thanks again for your help.
