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!

Hi cliffinseattle. Ally's August 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 42%, respectively.
 
When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $4,000 cash incentive that is currently available on 36 month leases of this car through Ally.

#171 of 202 2012 Malibu LS lease by knc90s17

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.

You're welcome knc90s17. I haven't heard about any additional lease cash that is available on the LT Malibu but not the LS model. In fact, I know that there's an extra $570 on the Malibu 1LS that is not available on the LT.
 
I can see the option package discount being treated as a cash incentive, which would be like putting money down on a lease.

Just leased a 2012 LS w/uplevel package and black granite paint for $138 a month 24/24,000mi. in Buffalo last week.
 
Just had to put the first payment down. All fees and tax rolled into payments. I had $1000 in equity in my Honda lease that they bought out and $1500 GM Card allowance. PLUS got an additional $1000 lease conquest cash!
 
Leased through another leasing company. The rebate was $3800 instead of $4250 but the dealer discounted the malibu by $1200 which made up for the difference. The interest rate was .84% when I multiplied MF by 2400. Residual value was 57%.
 
All this with MINIMAL negotiation! And lots of inventory! If you're thinking about leasing a family sedan, now is the time to look at a Malibu.
