Just out of curiousity, other than you "want" to pay $300-$320 a month with no cap reduction, how did you reach that figure? If "want" is the prime criteria, I "want" to lease a 2007 Maybach for $300 to $320 a month. Even if you get the TB SS for $30k all in, and if your leasing rate is 50% less than the going rate for 800+ fico score customers, you're still in the high $300 for a lease.

I reached that number figuring in my $3,200 GM earnings that im putting towards initial fees, taxes and first months payment... My fico score isn't 800 but its pretty f'n close...Stewarts in Colma has contacted me with the best quote so far...$29,500 for an awd ss. Its not the color I want but it'll do.

O.K., so to clarify, even though there's no cap reduction and $0 down, in reality, you'll be taking $3,200 off. Now, that makes some sense. $29,500 for an AWD SS is a really good price. What kind of leasing rate are they quoting you? GMAC is not the greatest -- if you have a great relationship with your bank, often you can beat GMAC's leasing rate. Also, are there any available rebates? When rebates are really good, an alternative to straight out leasing is a sale-leaseback. Where you enter into an agreement with a 3rd party leasing company that you'll buy the car, and then instantly sell the car to the leasing company who will then lease it back to you. That way, you take advantage of the rebate. I heard that there are $4k rebates out there for the SS.
Good luck.

Hello, could someone explain saleleaseback and what the names of 3rd party leasing companies are, and how that helps you take advantage of a rebate? I guess you mean if you deal with GMAC in a lease, they will not give you the rebate?
Thanks.

Looking to Lease 2007 Chevy Trailblazer

Hello!
My current GMAC Lease of a 2005 Trailblazer 4x4 LT ends in 3 weeks. My current lease is a two-year lease with 24,000 miles total allowance. I negotiated a deal where I paid the entire two-year lease upfront. This was $7,000 and included the sales tax for a two year lease. Today I went back to my dealer and for the exact same truck but a 2007 they now want $14,000 for the same lease or $598 a month. I told them there was no way the vehicle prices could change that much. They said they were surprised as well.
My question:
Like to have a 2007 Trailblazer, LT, 4x4, LT Group 2 package and convenience package, MSRP $33,830. TWO year lease, total 24,000 miles (20,000 miles ok too), no monthly payments, full 24 month upfront paid. What should I expect to pay for something like this?
Many thanks in advance!

I am in the same boat as you. I was paying about $340/mo for the same car and now I'm looking at about $600/mo for the same thing (although I was getting 18,000 miles per year). Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to get anywhere near where I want to be for the same car. My dad buys from the GMAC auctions and he said that my car would probably bring about $17,000. Given that the residual on the lease was $24,xxx, I can understand why the price is almost double since that would then make up for the additional depreciation. In addition to that, I believe GMAC was sold by GM so now there really is no incentive for GMAC to subsidize the lease the way they were in 2005.
I also looked at doing a bank lease and taking the rebate since GMAC has minimal allowable cap cost reduction, but the bank residuals were dismal. Unfortunately leasing today is not near as attractive as two years ago.

I agree. I got the same numbers from another Chevy dealership. I going to have them tweak it a bit with lower mileage allowance, go for 36 months, and use $2500 in GM Credit card points. Another dealer got it down to $419 with sales tax included for a 36 mos, 36,000 mile lease.
I'm also going to check out a Jeep Grand Cherokee and see if they are comparable. Let me know how things work out and I will do the same.

Here's the information on this truck's current lease program that you're looking for, rallye350. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of any 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 15,000 miles per year are 5.9% and 64%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 5.9% and 55%.

Leasing a Trailblazer is just NOT attractive at all. I went by the Chevrolet dealership today... Residual and money factor are the same for the 24 month lease above. It's almost $550/month with the GM Supplier Discount! That's more than an Infiniti FX35.
There's currently an $800 incentive for a 24 month lease.
The 36 month lease is a bit more attractive (with a $2600 incentive). The offer given to me today was:
MSRP: $34,950
CapCost: $30,121
Residual: 58% (10k miles)
Money Factor: 5.900% APR
Acq. Fee: $595
Doc. Fee: $75
Monthly: $399.44 or $425 w/ 6% MI tax
But that's 36 mos....
