Hey rbirns1. I'll head on over the SRX forum and answer this question there.

That's odd. I wonder what the category was, best residual value for a luxury sedan from a bankrupt automaker .

Hi njitalianangel. Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
Given the fact that you are already getting this car at the GMS price and the dealer us using GMAC's base lease rate to calculate its payment, you don't have a lot of additional room to negotiate. The only flexible part is how much of an additional dealer discount you are given for the demo miles that this car has. I personally would want a substantial additional discount to go with a demo vehicle over a similar brand new model.

Paying the sales tax doesn't change anything. If they can roll it into your lease, it increases your payment and you pay interest on it.
 
Your money factor sounds like it might not be a GMAC lease, per CarMan's post. Yes you should get the rebate taken off your $39000 price. The residual is based on annual mileage and set by GMAC or the bank.
 
Putting $ down (rebate or cash) lowers your lease payment, but it doesn't save you $ overall. However, putting the $ down is better than if you spend it on other stuff, unless you need it now for other stuff.
 
Dealers hope to sell a demo for at worst invoice. There isn't a set amount to take off for it being a demo, but there should be something off. Make sure you get a statement showing the in service mileage of 2110.
 
. The car has 2110 miles on it(a demo). residual is 38%. He got the payment to $485 for 39 months if I put the $3600 down but I want to use the $3400 as my down payment and want a better price on the car since it was a demo.
 
Carman posted 36%. Is your 38% for 12k?

Like someone else posted, it doesn't make sense to advertise best resale value, then come up with a low residual rate.
 
The higher residuals of the past, in the 50-56% range for 3 years and 15-10k miles made it not such a good deal to buy the car for residual. It kept leasees leasing again. Now with 36 - 40% residual for 15-10k miles, the lease cost is higher, but if someone wants to keep the car, buying it for the residual will be a better deal than in the past.

Lease rates for any 2009 car now will be much lower because the 2010s are already on their way or at the dealerships. Unless there are hugh cash incentives to offset the lower residual rates, the best time to lease a new car would be between Jan - Jun of the model year. After that the residuals start to drop and leases become less advantagous.

CTS Wagon Residual / Money Factor by rflor

Good morning car_man! Do you have the current residual and money factors for the 2010 CTS wagon? I'm looking at the 3.6L Performance AWD style.

Hi rflor Here's the info that you're looking for. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Cadillac CTS Wagon 3.6L Performance AWD with 15,000 miles per year are 0.80% and 40%, respectively.
 
As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for vehicles. One can convert lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. So a lease rate of 0.80% is equivalent to a money factor of around .00033.
 
You never mentioned how long you want to lease for or what mileage allowance you need, so I had to make some assumptions. Let me know if you want something different.
 
When negotiating your lease on this wagon, make sure to take advantage of the $2,750 cash incentive that General Motors is currently providing on leases of it through GMAC.
