Hi pstallin. Dealer invoice minus any available incentives is an excellent selling price for a GMC Acadia. As far as this truck's lease program goes, GMAC's current base lease rate and residual; value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 GMC Acadia SLT 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are 6.25% and 60%, respectively. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.

Hi bancroft162. The Acadia is actually selling reasonably well, given the current state of the economy and high gas prices. As a result, General Motors still is not providing much in the way of lease support on it in April.

Greetings sheepdog1. GMAC's current lease program for this truck varies by term. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease. Let me know if you want something different. Its current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 GMC Acadia with 12,000 miles per year are 6.25% and 63%, respectively. If by low mileage, you meant 10,000 miles per year this truck's residual value would be 2% higher.

Hi bancroft162. The selling price that you were quoted on the Acadia that you are interested in is excellent, especially for an ordered vehicle. Dealers are usually much more anxious to sell vehicles that they already physically have in inventory than they are to place an order for one. The residual value that you were quoted is right in line with GMAC's current resid for this truck. Just make sure that the dealer uses GMAC's current base lease rate of 6.25% to calculate your monthly payment and you're in business. Ask the dealer what rate they are using, they should tell you.

Hi bancroft162. GMS pricing is available to consumers who purchase vehicles through General Motors' supplier purchase program. GM employees are usually given coupons that they can use to extend the special low prices that are available through this program to anyone.

Hi spalme2733. You mentioned a lot of numbers in your post, but I can't tell what this truck's selling price is. 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 truck 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 the vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I am sure that someone here will be happy to give you their opinion of this deal if you let us know what the selling price is.

Hi Anthony. I see that you are considering making a $3,000 down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments on leased vehicles. Lessees who make them risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is involved in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be higher, you will be better off going with a zero down lease.
Let's take a look at the selling price that you were quoted. The 2008 Acadia SLT 2WD that you are interested in probably has a spread of around $2,900 or so between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. the $2,500 discount that you were quoted on this truck looks very attractive to me.
Let's calculate a zero down lease payment on this truck and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2008 GMC Acadia that has an MSRP of $42,000 and a selling price of $39,500 through GMAC right now for 48 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $651.

Car-man,
Where can I find the GMAC published lease rates? I was just told by the dealer that it is 8.5% instead of 6.25%. Also, is a dealer fee of $589 about right?
Thanks ahead,
Raul
