Yes, well at least you are covered!! Many will choose a longer lease, because the payment is better. But, it is really better to choose the standard 36mth or even a 24mth lease. That way you are covered, and paying a little more or the standard amount is much better than being stuck with it for as long as you would with a loan 4 or more years is crazy for the lease. But, it sometimes gets so crazy when you get a new car, so much information. Only if we all slowed down and read the fine print. Perhaps, I wouldn't be in my 08 G6 lease now. Perhaps, I could have gotten something else. I leased to cars in one day, an 08 VW Jetta SE and then my 08 G6. I just wanted it done and over with. But, I have to be thankful, I don't own the G6, its a lease, I can walk away in about 2yrs, worse case scenario. Its just a car. I do get to drive the Jetta every now and then. I too will never be back to a GM product. I simply will not stand behind their name, not after dragging us all through the mud. I too will be choosing a Honda Accord, Acura TSX, or a VW. By then they will be offering a V6 on the TSX!! That will be a hot car!

The services are more expensive though on the VW. I love VW, they are fun cars. The quality is high too. The engine is high revving and smooth, efficient. The 06 4cyl Accord I had was so strong and refined. It was like a little race horse. Not a race car, but it had some ummphh. The G6 4cyl is no where near that. I truly miss my Accord. I never wanted the G6, it wasn't really by choice either, but, atleast I tried it, and now I know that I not truly happy with it. The car its self is great, but the engine is a huge let down. Why do you think most go with the V6 in a GM car? Anyway..... I am going to take my car in, and simply tell them my transmission is going off a bit.. I feel that something is just not right. If everything is normal, well, okay. but I might have my friend take over my lease. She wants a G6. Then I can start all over again. People will just laugh that I got a new car again. lol. |

The bigger question is what happens to your car's warranty should General Motors file for bankruptcy. This is pure speculation at this point, but if GM does end up filing for bankruptcy (and if I was a betting man I'd guess that it will) the U.S. government will likely come out with some sort of promise to honor its warranties while the bankruptcy proceedings are going on. Once the company emerges, it would likely continue to honor its existing warranties as if nothing had ever happened. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Anyone know what kind of finance offers might be available for GMAC early lease buyout?

My lease is up next month on my 2006 G6 V6. Is there a chance that the dealership does not want the car back due to the economy/not being able to move the car/is a dead brand that I can negotiate down the final purchase price and not be saddled with payments for several more years? I should note that the power steering light keeps coming on (even though there appears to be nothing wrong with the power steering), which was taken to the dealership to be repaired more than once, and was told they had no idea how to fix it properly. Would this help in said negotiations?

Replying to: speakerface (Jul 15, 2009 4:16 pm) About your issues, well you really shouldn't have to worry about them, since the car was fixed already by the dealer. The only way the could control any of the issue is if you trade early. They could then work the trade in value against you. Good Luck! What car are you think about getting now? |
