One last note...I visited the local Chevy dealer today and examined some window stickers to determine where the car was built. Of the cars I examined....
 
The good news...
 
Cobolt 80% US/Canadian
Malibu 85% US/Canadian
Impala 82% US/Canadian
 
The bad news....
 
Equinox 55% US/Canadian
HHR 40% US/Canadian
Aveo 5% US/Canadian
 
The US lost dominance in semi-conductor manufacturing when it decided that memory chips were not profitable and moved manufacturing to Asia.
 
Last week, I read an article that stated GM is exploring the possibility of "outsourcing"its body panel manufacturing needs, as that function is not profitable and can be done cheaper by a 3rd party (read China). Is there a common thread here? I hope not!
 
OK, I'll shut up about this issue now.
 
One last thought, however...I spent a few minutes in and around the Malibu, and I must admit it is a fine looking automobile. If someone was looking for a functional mid-size auto made primarily in North America, this would probably be the car of choice.

when to a Chevy dealer to get quote on a malibu LT. I want to trade a 2005 toyota sienna with 26 month left on lease. They gave me a quote of 440.00 for 36 month. Need your help to make a wise decision.

Hi everyone. While the buy American discussion is interesting, this really isn't the place for it. This particular discussion was created for consumers to discuss leasing the Chevrolet Malibu. Let's try to keep things on-topic. Thanks .

Hi frankb036. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu with 15,000 miles per year are 3.15% and 63%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 3.15% and 51%. If you were to lease this car with only 12,000 miles per year, its 24 month resid would be 1% higher and its 36 month residual value would be 3% higher.
 
As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for vehicles. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.

Car Man is that formula to calculate money factor used for any automaker?
 
i.e 3.15/2400
