No problem ghytty. Ally's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2012 Buick Lacrosse Premium II with 12,000 miles per year are 1.1% and 44%, respectively.
 
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
 
When negotiating your deal on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $3,825 cash incentive that is currently available on 39 month leases of it through Ally.

I saw a lease deal being offered for a 2011 eAssist + convenience group model for $331/month with $0 down, 39 month lease 39,000 miles. I'm curious how they are reaching this number (MF, residual, discounts)? I'm wondering if I can negotiate this lower.
 
I am wondering if there are additional incentives, as I saw a $1500 customer cash offer and see dealers listing cars at $1500 off. Can you tell me if there are additional discounts in addition to the $3,825 lease incentive? I think with a 1.1% MF, 44% residual and $3825+$1500 discount, the payment is about $331/month.

Just got back from dealer:
- $331/month deal is bogus! It has an additional $1,000 "rebate", which you actually only qualify for if have and use $1,000 earnings from a GM credit card that you've accrued through purchases.
 
Premiuim I:
US Bank rebate on any model Lacrosse lease is $4550. $995 acquisition fee, $395 turn in fee.
Residual = 45%
MF= .00079
MSRP: $33,000
Sales price (w/out negotiating): $32,557
They had tax credits, so no tax would be charged.
Total monthly lease=$397/month w/ only first month payment due at signing
Note: disappointed to not see touchscreen radio in car as shown in brochure. This apparently ships later. The radio looked like something 10 years old...terrible.
 
Ally rebate is $3825 + 1st payment waived, $845 acquisition, $0 turn in fee. As discussed in other places Ally also charges a $2500 fee at lease-end if you decide to buy the vehicle. I did not get Residual and MF, as the sales person said US Bank had a better overall deal.
 
No conquest dollars were being offered or additional rebates.

Hi foosman9469. Did you say that you saw an advertisement for a 2011 Lacrosse at this price? Did you mean a 2012 model? GM has pulled the plug on its lease support for 2011 models, so it doesn't make sense to lease one any longer.
 
Ally's current special lease rate on the 2012 Buick Lacrosse is 1.1%. This special lease rate can be combined with a $3,825 cash incentive plus the waiver of the first month's payment on 39-month leases of this car. This cash incentive cannot be combined with the $1,500.

Hi carman14. Please see my previous post for the lease rate and lease cash that are available on the Lacrosse right now. Its 39-month, 10,000 mile pr year residual value is 46% for the Convenience and Leather models.
 
If I was in the market for a Lacrosse right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice minus the available cash incentives.
 
I haven't seen anything on the eAssist version yet.

I meant 2012, not 2011. You are correct that they have pulled support on 2011 leases.

I thought that was the case, foosman9469. In case you are still monitoring this discussion and haven't finalized your deal yet, I heard that GM just upped its cash incentives on leases of the 2012 Lacrosse by I believe $500 today.

#75 of 138 LaCROSSE LEASE PAYMENT by rjdilauro

Dec 17, 2011 (8:27 pm)

Hi Car_man,
 
Hoping you can help me. I'm looking at a 2012 Buick LaCrosse Premium II package with AWD. MSRP is $42,130 including Destination Charge and deduction of the $1,500 cash offer.
 
I tried calculating a lease payment for 39 months at 1.1% with a 44% residual on a price of $39,700 (True Market Value) and I'm coming up with a monthly payment of $583 which seems awfully high. My current lease on a 2008 Infiniti G35 AWD is coming up next month and Infiniti is desperately trying to get me to roll over into a new G37 at or below my current lease paymnt of $525 (which includes a 10% lease tax in Philadelphia).
 
Am I calculating the LaCrosse payment correctly? If not, there's not much incentive to jump from Infiniti.
 
Also, I have a pre-approved Ally Bank offer for GM and I see you mentioning a $3,825 cash incentive with them. I know I can't combine that and the $1,500, but how does that work? Would it just be $3,825 off the price instead of $1,500?
 
Thanks for your help.
 
Rich

I'm sure you can't combine the 1500 w/ the 3825, however, I would look up invoice price on the one you are looking at and compute your lease on invoice minus 3825. I bet that gets it close to what it should be. I can't imagine this time of year the dealer not moving a unit at invoice.
 
My lease details are a few posts up, I would think with some good negotiations you can get this car for a little over 500.
