Lease Deal in July '08 by slam
Jul 13, 2008 (6:49 pm)
Reply
I'm looking to lease a new '08 Enclave FWD CXL loaded with a MSRP price of ~$45K. Monthly payment on a 39-month lease is $540 - 550 including tax. Here's the break down:
 
Neg. Price: $39,950
Down Payment: $2,500
Term: 39 months
Mileage: 12K per year
Residual: 64%
Money Factor: 8%
 
Is this a good deal? I'm concerned with the high money factor and not getting the rock bottom negotiated price (since '09 will be due out soon).

The 2009's are just about at the dealers' doorstep, which is why the "deal" is so "good". Personally, I'd get a 2009.(I happily own a 2008.) There are a few more "new" items...heated (and cooled) seats, a DI engine, back-up camera is standard, etc. Go to enclaveforum.net for some more info. In this market, I think you could probably get just as good a deal, and a year newer.

Is GM still offering lease deals on the Enclave?
 
Can you please provide me with the residual and money factor on the 2009 CXL (with 8 passenger bench if that makes a difference) on a 3yr/15k lease.
 
thanks and Happy Holidays

HI golic. Unfortunately, General Motors' financial problems forced it to pull the plug on its lease program. As a result, you will not be able to lease an Enclave through GMAC right now. You might be able to lease one through an independent bank...if you can find a bank that is willing to lease you one, but chances are that it will be a pretty expensive lease and you would be better off financing or paying cash for this truck right now.
 
There was a rumor floating around that GM would reintroduce leasing now that GMAC got multi-billion dollar cash infusion from the government, it used the money to roll out special financing rates, but I personally am skeptical because after the details of GMAC's deal with the government were published I believe that I read something about it not being allowed to lease vehicles.
 
If you really want to lease, you will be better off going with a vehicle from a different manufacturer.

Hi Car Man -
 
After almost 2 years of looking at the Lambdas, we're finally going to pull the trigger (I think they fix all of the little issues, and the new engine, bluetooth and cooled seats were items we were waiting for). We have Employee pricing, but I want to get some of the Re-Concensus cash. Is there any way to figure out how much cash the dealer received? Should I just tell them I want $2000 off, with the $2750 rebates and Employee pricing?

Hi octagon3. I'm impressed that you're aware of the re-consensus cash program. I believe that involves special cash incentives that dealers receive for taking additional vehicles from General Motors into their inventory. Several manufacturers are running programs like this right now because they are choking on their inventory and dealers are refusing to take any more cars. The problem with this sort of incentive is it is impossible to know which dealers received the cash. I assume that many did not.
 
GM is not providing employee pricing for everyone on its vehicles right now. I take it that you must be an actual GM employee. If not, the only way that you can get a special low price is to be a member of a credit union. GM is providing credit union members with supplier pricing on all of its products right now.
 
You can always shoot for a selling price that's way below dealer invoice minus all of the available incentives and see what happens. If the dealer bites, chances are that they got some of the re-consensus cash. Good luck and make sure to let us all know how everything turns out.
