Hi sschroeder. Let me begin by saying that $5,000 is way too much money to pay at lease signing. I always advise consumers not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction on leases. Those who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You would be better off going with a zero down lease even though it means your monthly payment will be a little higher.
 
You never mentioned the selling price of the H3 that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of the vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what its selling price is.

Hi jf7227. GMAC's lease rate is the same for 24 and 36 months, but the 36 month term will provide you with a lower monthly payment because it enables you to spread the large initial depreciation hit that new vehicles experience out over a larger number of payments.
 
Let's work up a sample lease payment on this truck for you and see what we come up with. The Hummer H3 Alpha probably has a spread of around $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. For now I will assume that you are able to negotiate a $2,500 dealer discount. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 Hummer H3 that has an MSRP of $43,250.and a capitalized cost of $39,700 ($43,250 - $2,500 discount - $1,050 lease cash) through GMAC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $514.

You really have to watch your mileage on the leases...I have a high mileage lease I am well under the miles at 501 a month , My life has changed and I need a larger towing vechile , I have about a little over a year left on the lease , I would be willing to let someone take over my payment and they would have a nice hummer to drive for a year or so.

I am looking to get into my first H3. I am planning on leasing the vehicle but do not know what current residual and or money factor is on a 36 month lease. The specific model I am looking at is the base model with luxury package, power sunroof, chrome package and automatic trans. I am located in southern NH. I would love to get the info as soon as possible as I want to go out and do the deal this weekend. Any help will be much appreciated!!

Greetings jthomas6727. 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.
 
From the looks of it, you have already checked out the 10 steps piece. I will boil things down even further for you. The two most important numbers to focus on when leasing a new vehicle are its selling price and the interest rate or money factor that you are being charged. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Comparison shop with a few dealers for the best possible price on the new H3 that you want.
 
The combination of lackluster new vehicle sales, high gas prices, and the H3's poor crash test results will probably enable you to get a great deal on one right now. If I was in the market for a new H3 right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of right around dealer invoice. You can look up the dealer invoice price of the exact truck that you want by visiting the following section of this site: New Vehicle Pricing. When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take the $1,050 lease cash and $1,000 bonus cash that General Motors is currently providing on it into account.
 
Once you have arrived at a selling price that you are happy with, have the dealer calculate your lease payment using GMAC's current base lease rate of 4.0% and you're all set.

Hello slewis01. The H3's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Hummer H3 with 15,000 miles per year are 4.0% and 58%, respectively. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. So a lease rate of 4.0% would be equivalent to an interest rate of around .00167. When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take advantage of the $1,050 lease cash and $1,000 bonus cash that General Motors is currently providing on it into account.
