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

Hi mig42. I would be happy to give you an idea of what this vehicle's current lease program is like. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a GMC Acadia with 12,000 miles per year are 6.25% and 63%, respectively. Residual values are always based upon a percentage of vehicles' full MSRPs, including the destination charge and the MSRPs of any factory-installed options.
 
You will have better luck getting information on what this truck's CD player, leather, etc. are like by hopping on over to the "2008 GMC Acadia".
 
On an unrelated note, I saw one on the road yesterday and it looked really nice.

Hey antney79. The lease rate and residual value that you were quoted are right in line with GMAC's current program for this model. That is a good thing. Now let's take a look at its selling price. The truck that you are interested in probably has a spread of around $3,000 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. This is almost the exact discount that you are being given, which means that this is a good selling price. If you currently own or are leasing a GM vehicle, you are eligible for a special $500 owner loyalty cash incentive. Make sure to take that into account if you are eligible for it.
 
Despite the fact that all of the negotiable aspects of this deal look great, the monthly payment looks too high. I just used the numbers that you mentioned in your post and I came up with a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $527. You definitely need to get together with the dealer to see why the payment that they quoted you is so much higher.

Hi bkg223. The lease rate and residual value that you were quoted are right in line with GMAC's lease program for this truck. Furthermore, its selling price should be good as well if you are getting it through GM's supplier purchase program. I suspect that this is an excellent deal, but I would be happy to double check that the payment is correct for you if you provide me with its selling price.

Hi ralora. I can provide you with the information that you are looking for. This truck's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 GMC Acadia with 15,000 miles per year are 6.25% and 60%.
