I am looking to close a deal on a 27 month lease on a 9-3 Aero w/msrp of $35,120 and a sales price of $32,306. The botttom line on the whole affair is $339 per month + tax with a total drive off of $3,000 (which includes cap reduction of $1582 + tax) Is this a good deal? Does anyone know of any better? Also looking at a 9-3 2.0T with moonroof and auto for $339 per month and $1500 drive off --lets say that includes $100-200 of cap reduction. Whaddya think of those numbers? PS I do not have any special GM employee discount. Is there any dealer cash still floating around? Dan

I believe there is cash on 06s for purchase only-no longer being leased is what I was told. For comparison, the dealer I went with quoted 3.8% rate (APR equivalent of the money factor) with 68% Residual Value for 27 months (this quote was valid through end of Nov but I doubt things have changed much). The first dealer I contacted would only go 4.3% on the rate. I was shopping for a 9-3 Aero SportCombi so that might make a small difference vs. a sedan. |

I have a family member that currently works for GM. I've been told that I can take advantage of the employee pricing. First, what procedures are necessary to take advantage of the program? Second, what kind of discount can I expect? The MSRP is about $38,165.00. I'm looking for a 24-36 month lease with no money down and this is in the Chicago market with a tax percentage of 7.5%. Do I got to the dealer, negotiate the price, and then tell them I have employee pricing? Or, do I let them know this up front? Please help. Thanks for your help.

The discount gets you a little over 3K off of the base car plus around 20-25% off any options. Last I checked you were also eligible for another 1000 off as an incentive exclusive to GM employee discount eligible people, but I am not sure if that was continued into December. (I just bought a Saab in November with the discount and got the 1000). Keep in mind that if you live in the city of Chicago, they impose an additional lease tax of something like 6% of your payments. Also keep in mind that under the insane Illinois laws you pay tax on the full purchase price of the car, even though you are only leasing it. (unlike some more fair states such as Michigan where you only pay taxes on the difference between the sale price and the residual value, which only makes sense). |
