Hi Jeff. According to the latest information that I have seen, GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Buick Lucerne CXS with 15,000 miles per year are 4.0% and 52%, respectively. General Motors is currently providing $750 lease cash on this model. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating your car's capitalized cost.

Hello larwil324. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2007 Buick Lucerne CXS with 10,000 miles per year are 4.0% and 64%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 lease are 4.0% and 56%.

#16 of 31 GMAC's Lease Program Above #15 by addi

When GMAC quotes 4% for a buy rate does one just divide by 2400 for a buy rate of .0016666?
 
I find most GMAC dealer's difficult to work with on a lease deal.
 
Thanks. Addie

You are absolutely right, addi. To convert a lease rate into an approximate equivalent money factor, just divide it by 2400.

#18 of 31 2006 Buy versus 2007 Lease CXS by jaysquared55

May 14, 2007 (2:28 pm)

I am looking at 2 different Lucerne CXS models, and was wondering if anyone might have some insight they could help me with. First off, I'm debating purchasing a 2006 model with premium paint, htd washer fluid/remote start/parking assist, htd & cooled seats, 6-disc cd changer and 18" chrome plated alum wheels that stickers at $38,130, or of leasing a 2007 similarly equiped except it also has a pwr sunroof that stickers at $40,075. I'm looking at a 39 month lease with 20K miles/yr. I may qualify for some or all of the following: loyal Buick owner ($750), cash allowance ($2000/'06), conquest cash ($500 - we also have a foreign car) and SmartBuy trade-in cash allowance on purchase (for the '06 model). Since I need a high mileage lease, maybe with all the incentives for the '06, it might be less to purchase. What do you think, or what calculations should I make to come up with a good comparison estimate? Thanks for your help! (I'll also post this under leasing questions.)

Hi jaysquared55. The high mileage that you drive would push me to finance or pay cash for a 2006 Lucerne than lease a 2007 model if I was in your situation.

#20 of 31 Advice by griz7674

I currently drive a 2005 F150 Supercrew 4wd. It's killing me on gas but it will seat 6 people which is nice since I have 4 children. My in-laws have a 6 seat lucerne and I really like the way it drives. My children are still small so we can fit comfortably in this.
 
I spoke with a dealership about 3 hours from me and here is their offer.
 
Lease:
36 month lease based upon a GMS purchase price of $29,181. I am allowed 25,000 miles a year with a residiual of $13876 and a money factor of 5.0. They are allowing me $19,000 on my F150 which I owe $23,879 on. This brings my monthly lease payment to $641 + tax or $550 + tax if I go with 12,000 miles.
 
I have never leased before so am unfamiliar with what constitutes a good deal. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
 
Bob

Very sorry to change the subject. I am in the process of building my lucerne CXL with all the things that I want. I am only interested in leasing. They are telling me now that a lease may not be an option for the first 6 months of the 2008. I am told that there is a 2007 with the same color and almost everything that I am looking for. the price is $1000 more than the car that I built.ONLY THIS CAR HAS 2700 MILES ON IT.THE DEALERS WIFE DROVE IT. IT IS VERY BEAUTIFUL, SHOULDN'T THIS CAR BE CLASSIFIED AS USED ? SOMEONE PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME . EDDIEDEE
