#20 of 107 Are these lease numbers good? by andre1 Jun 29, 2006 (9:27 am)
car_buyer3,    That deal is not bad, but you could have done a little better. If you go to www.fitzmall.com or www.carmax.com, you will see bottom line prices in print for available 06 Trailblazers (including the SS). You can use these published prices for your local dealer to try and beat. The lease numbers for 36 months and 15K miles per year are 57% residual and 4.9% interest. Based on this information, your payment should be in the high $300's instead of mid $400's per month, and that's for 36 months, not 39. The dealer probably marked up the lease numbers to get your payment to $440.

Replying to: car_buyer3 (Jun 13, 2006 10:56 am) Hi car_buyer3. GM's supplier purchase price is a reasonable price for this truck. Just make sure that the dealer that you are working with is using GMAC's base lease rate of 4.9% to calculate your truck's lease payment and you should be good to go.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: justwonderin1 (Jun 28, 2006 12:07 pm) Welcome justwonderin1. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.   Once you have checked out these articles and understand the basics of leasing, stop back in this discussion. If you provide me with the MSRP and selling price of the truck that you want along with how long you want to lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it I will be happy to give you an idea of what its monthly payment should be like right now.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums
#23 of 107 2006 Trailblazer SS Lease Rates by andre1 Jul 03, 2006 (1:42 pm)
Car_Man,   Are the July lease factors (money factor, residual) the same as June for the 2006 Trailblazer SS? If not, can you give me the lease factors for the following:   24 months, 12K and 15K miles per year 36 months, 12K and 15K miles per year Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 10, 2006 3:24 am)
#24 of 107 2006 TrailblazerLT Lease by jonscoggs Jul 09, 2006 (9:04 am)
Hi Car_man,   My wife and I are looking into a 2006 Trailblazer LT, pretty much loaded. Per the internet, the MSRP is $33,660. My wifes grandfather was an engineer at GM, so we qualify for the GSM price, which is $30,186.33 (again per the GM Family First website). Right now there is $3750 in cash back incentives. So, I am coming up with a Cap Cost of $26,436.33. Am I calculating that right with the incentive?   We are looking for a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year. Can you estimate payments for me? It sounds like the residual value would be 57% or 60%. How do I convert Chevy's 4.9% lease rate into a money factor?   Thanks,   jonscoggs Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 10, 2006 3:30 am)

Replying to: andre1 (Jul 03, 2006 1:42 pm) Hey andre1. GMAC does not use money factors to calculate the interest portion of lease payments. Instead it uses lease rates, that look just like normal interest rates. 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 Trailblazer SS though GMAC right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 4.9% and 66%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month, 15,000 mile per year lease should be 4.9% and 57%. With only 12,000 miles per year, the 24 month residual value would be 1% higher and the 36 month residual value would be 3% higher. When negotiating your lease on this truck, keep in mind that GM is currently providing $1,250 lease cash on it. This incentive will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost for your lease.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: jonscoggs (Jul 09, 2006 9:04 am) Hi jonscoggs. Unfortunately, the $3,000 customer cash that is available on the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer is not compatible with leases of it through GMAC. GM is only providing a $1,250 cash incentive on leases of this truck right now. Assuming that the price that you got from the Family First site is not already taking this cash into account, this truck's capitalized cost would be around $28,936. Using this cap cost and an MSRP of $33,660, I estimate that this truck's 36 month, 12,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $344. I used a lease rate of 4.9% (it is just a coincidence that this rate is the same as this truck's current rate for conventional loans) and a residual value of 60% to arrive at this payment.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forums
#27 of 107 Lease Conversion by mikeriley12 Jul 24, 2006 (5:37 am)
2 weeks ago I leased a 2006 Trailblazer. I did the deal on a friday night and on monday morning after my wife and i spoke about it more, we decided we want to finance the vehicle. When i spoke to the dealer they told me it was impossible to change it over and that the rebates and what not would not apply and they gave me a over $200 more per month payment on 72 months! My question is, once i get the paper work from GMAC for my lease can i contact them to change the lease into a finance deal and will they honor the purchase price used for the lease?

Replying to: mikeriley12 (Jul 24, 2006 5:37 am) Hi mikeriley12. Congratulations on your new truck. I am sorry to say that your the paperwork has been sent to GMAC and you have physically driven off in your truck it is probably impossible to convert your deal from a lease to a conventional loan. You're going to have to continue with your lease and then decide at the end of your term whether you want to buy your truck or turn it in.   Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum

Car_Man,   Please forward the lease terms (residual, money factor) for the 2006 Trailblazer SS (24 and 36 months, 12K and 15K miles per year). Also, is there any cash rebate (SE region) or lease cash on this vehicle? Replies to this message: Car_man (Aug 23, 2006 2:48 am)
