Thanks for the additional information, flwolve. The GM dollars are a great way to make a down payment on a leased vehicle, but you would be better off having this dealer cut you a check for your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a capitalized cost reduction for your lease. You are in luck if you haven't leased yet because a couple of days ago GM sweetened its incentives on it. It increased the $500 bonus cash that was available on this car to $1,600 the 2.8L model and $2,100 on the 3.6L model.

Greetings cbuccieri. Since you are new to the world of 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.
 
The selling prices of leased vehicles are absolutely negotiable. Negotiate as low a price as possible stipulating that you want any available incentives subtracted from it. The current cash incentives that are available on a leased 2006 CTS include $1,750 lease cash plus another $1,600 bonus cash on 2.8L models and $2,100 on 3.6L models, for a total of $3,350 on the 2.8 and $3,850 on the 3.6.

#12 of 945 Current program any good by nkny

Dec 28, 2005 (5:08 am)

Hi,
 
I went to a dealer today and I was told the current leasing deal of the base model is 1250 down plus tax and tags which totals to about 2500 (Idont remember the exact number) and 299.00 per month for 39 months I believe.
 
Is this a good deal as I really dont know much about leasing.
 
I was told it expires on 1/3/2006 so I better act fast
 
Thanks in advance for your help..
 
Nick in NY

Make sure to find out the full MSRP and selling price of the CTS that you want from the dealer. The selling prices of leased vehicles are always negotiable, so how good a deal the lease that you were quoted is depends upon how much of a discount you are being given. While GM's current lease program does indeed only run through January 3rd, I don't expect its replacement program to be any less attractive than its current one is. It is difficult to predict exactly what automakers' future lease and incentive programs will be like, but I suspect that the salesperson who you were dealing with was trying to create a false sense of urgency to get you to purchase your new vehicle ASAP.

#14 of 945 Leasing Experience...need advice by policelady

Jan 11, 2006 (3:00 pm)

Here is my leasing experience:
2002 Chevy Impala for trade-in...owed 19,000.00 and was given 11,000.00 in trade. Was told that I was 9000 negative equity from previous car deals. Lease dealer said in order to hide negative equity, they would need 1500.00 down, my vehicle and would give me a 2005 CTS new with sticker price 34,000.00 and my payments end up being 625.00 a month. What happen to me? good or bad?

Hi policelady. I am sorry to hear that you are so upside down on your current vehicle. You probably don't need me to tell you this, but you would be much better off waiting until you are leas upside down to get a new vehicle. Having said this, I would be happy to give you my opinion on this deal, but you never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. Let me know the selling price and I'll tell you what I think.
