Hi chaos42. I am sorry to say that it is usually fairly expensive to get out of leases well before their scheduled end dates. You definitely just can't return your car and walk away from it. Doing so would indeed ruin your credit.
 
In order to get out of your lease early, you need to purchase the vehicle that you are currently leasing from the bank that you are leasing it through. It often turns out that it costs more to do so than your vehicle is worth on the open market. Furthermore, many banks expect consumers who end their leases early to still make all, or at least the depreciation portion of their remaining lease payments. As you can see, this can get very expensive.
  
You can determine approximately how much it will cost you to get out of your current lease by comparing its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. You should place a call to the bank that you are leasing your vehicle through to find out its exact price. Once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values". Don't forget to check to see if you are still on the hook for your remaining lease payments. The difference between your leased vehicle's current value and how much it will cost you to buy it plus any remaining lease payments that you are obligated to pay will equal the cost of getting out of your lease right now. You may find that you are better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your lease to get another new vehicle.

money factor 2009 Acadia by carnutfan

I'm getting terrible offers from dealers on a 36 month lease. One dealer told me the residual on a 40k car was 18k after 3 years! I'm trying to get one with drive offs for 36mo/15k year. What should I be looking for in terms of a payment?
 
Also, should I go directly through a bank or credit union? thanks.

Hi carnutfan. If you're interested in leasing your next vehicle then the GMC Acadia is not for you. General Motors' financial problems have forced it to pull the plug on its special lease program. Between that and the general realignment of residual values that has occurred in the industry over the past year leasing an Acadia is going to be very expensive. If you're set on leasing, choose a different model.

Acadia Lease Question by mrothman
Jun 12, 2009 (8:11 pm)

Hi Car Man:
 
I am seeking info on leasing an 2009 Acadia SLT. I visited my local dealer (los angeles area) and received the typically outrageous first proposal. The numbers they provided are as follows: Sale price of $38,473 (taxes, etc brings it up to about $42,700), cash down of $3,000, lease term of 39 months, Money Factor of .0027, and Residual Value of 37%. This all equates to a monthly payment of $875. As I said, I believe this figure is insane.
 
I think the money factor is actually fair, but the residual value is a joke and I assume the sale cost is high as well. Can you please give me a fair set of numbers that I should set as my goal. Thanks.

Hi mrothman. wow, nearly $900 per month to lease an Acadia. I don't think so. Ever since General Motors was forced to pull the plug on its special lease program is has been next to impossible to get a good deal on a lease of a GM product. The residual value that you were quoted may be a joke, but unfortunately it probably is realistic. I suppose that says something about the resale value of many GM products.
 
If you really want to lease, don't go with a GM vehicle. If you like the Acadia, and it is a nice truck, and don't mind not leasing finance it through GMAC at 0% for 5 years.

It seams that GM is offering leases again on the Acadia. Car_man, do you k now the current terms? Specifically I am looking for a 15,000 mile/year lease.
 
thanks.

Hi sprmario. GMAC's current base lease rate for a 36 month lease of any 2010 GMC Acadia is 0.4%. This truck's 15,000 mile per year residual values vary from 39% to 42% depending upon what trim level you want.
 
General Motors is currently providing a $2,300 cash incentive on leases of this truck through GMAC.
