#84 of 93 Lease Info on '08 Vue XR FWD by chigirlintexas

Nov 21, 2007 (9:16 pm)

Hey Car_Man,
 
Do you have any lease info on the '08 Vue XR V6 FWD, such as residual and money factor? I would be interested in 15K miles per year, 36 months.
 
Thanks,
ChiGirl

Hey ChiGirl. Here's the information that you're looking for. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Saturn VUE XR V6 FWD with 15,000 miles per year are 2.25% and 51%, respectively. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Car_man,
 
Do you the money factor and residual on a 48 month lease? And is it a horribly bad idea to let them roll in neg equity in the 2-3 range.
 
Thanks
Majbabyarm

I sure so, majbabyarm. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 48 month lease of a 2008 Saturn VUE 4-cylinder with 15,000 miles per year are 2.25% and 41%, respectively. The lease rate for an otherwise identical lease of a VUE V6 would be the same, but its residual value would be 1% higher. GMAC's residual values for leases of Saturns with 12,000 miles per year are 2% higher than its 15k residuals. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its base lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. So a lease rate of 2.25% would be equivalent to a money factor of around .00094.
 
You definitely would be better off if you didn't roll your negative equity into your new lease.

Car_man,
 
I too am looking at leasing a 2008 Saturn Vue XR FWD. Below is the info on the car I am looking to lease:
 
MSRP = $26,670
Sales Tax = 7%
Down Payment = $2000
Term = 36 months
Mileage = 12,000
 
We have the GM family discount, which in our experience looking at Equinox's last weekend, knocked about $2,000 off the MSRP (although I don't know if the effect will be the same for the Saturn Vues).
 
Anyway, I was hoping that you could give me a range of what I should expect for a lease price. Looking online, it currently looks as though Saturn has a 2.25% lease incentive for 36 month Saturn Vue leases. Thus, I'm not sure but I think that would bring the money factor to around .00094.
 
So based on my caluclations, I should expect somewhere between $329 ($2000 GM family discount) and $359 ($1000 GM family discount) (NOTE: would be $390 with $0 GM family discount).
 
Let me know what you think. I was hoping not to be too surprised when I go to the dealership. Thanks for your help!

Now the VUE XE lease deals look better than the Lucerne. What are the residuals for a 10k mile lease for a 39 mo lease and int rate? Do you know if Saturn is allowing the auto show rebate till 4/5? Thanks.

#90 of 93 Saturn lease buyout by lb61

Oct 15, 2009 (2:44 pm)

We have a 2007 Vue and the lease ends 1/8/10. The buyout is approximately $12,500. We obviously want to offer well below the buyout amount, but does anyone have an any opinions about a good starting point for negotiation?

I need a little advice as to the future of my smart buy,in 05 I purchased a saturn vue with a $10,000.00 down payment, upon bringing my car in for service( when it was 15 month old) i saw the newer model that i really liked and traded in the car that i had finaced to a smart buy which the salesman had me believe was the same as owing the car, which i know now is another word for leasing.Anyway my lease is up in December (by the was the smart but is a GMAC lease) and i am not really sure as what to do as far as a new model. I do like my car but I don't know if it would be a wise decision to buy this car or look for another suv....i cannot a foord to make another costly mistake. Any suggestions? emona
