#75 of 141 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.

rjdilauro,
 
Don't know if you are an American Express cardholder but good deals can be had through their auto buying program.

For example, they show the true dealer cost, and a Lacrosse, less the $1,500 incentive, can be purchased for well below invoice. While these deals apply to purchasing I am not sure if they apply to leasing as well.

Hi Rich. If you are leasing through Ally then you would be eligible for the $3,825 cash incentive instead of the $1,500. They cannot be combined.
 
You should negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the car that you are interested in, as close to dealer invoice as you can, or even lower if possible, and then have the dealer subtract the available cash incentive from that.
 
If you provide me with the MSRP and approximate selling price of the car that you want I can work up a payment on it for you.

Thanks Car_man. Just saw an ad where they lowered the lease from $331/month to $318/month, which corresponds nicely to a $500 additional lease incentive.
 
I think it may be possible to get a Premium I Lacrosse (MSRP: $33,300) 39month/12k mile lease for < $350 month w/ $0 down. I see online dealers discounting purchases by $3500. I realize there is a $1500 purchase incentive, which means the dealer is discounting another $2000. Add in the lease incentives and I'm thinking you can get: -$4550 lease incentive -$500 additional lease incentive -$2000 dealer discount If this is the case, we are looking at a $7,000 discount off MSRP on a lease.

How long will the $4,300 cash incentive on 36-month leases of the 2012 Buick Lacrosse through Ally last?

Hey edmundsuser6. It's currently scheduled to run through the end of February, but I don't expect General Motors to just pull the plug on it after that date. If anything, I expect GM's incentives to continue or perhaps possibly even increase given what has likely been a fairly weak month for the company.
