If you were going for a car like a Chevy Uplander that they can't seem ro give away, I think you might have a better than average chance of applying both discounts, assuming that the coupon was still in effect. However, in your case, with people apparently lining up to cheerfully fork over $650/month for a Buick, I suspect that you probably wouldn't get either discount. Check the fine print on the coupon - certain vehicles might be excluded, or the discount on the Lambda cars far less than $2000. I've seen those coupons before, since I am also a GM cardholder. The other enticements they frequently use is to bump up your GM Card earnings points to get you into a showroom. The scenario of GM paying off non-GM leases is an interesting concept, if they're not just rolling that into your new lease. I should seriously start looking at the Mazda CX-9 and see if I could work something like that out with them. However, there's another highly popular vehicle, though there are deals out there.

Mazda CX9 deals from what I heard are going for $1,000 to $1,500 under invoice price on the cars. I called the competitive leasing dept at GM today (yes, there is a department for this). They told me based on my name and address they could look up my info. They found the coupon that I was sent that expired in January. They can't reissue it but said the dealerships can look it up as well and it's up to their discretion as to whether they accept it or not. I don't see why they wouldn't as it doesn't come out of their pocket, the discount is absorbed by GM...not the dealer. Have you heard of this being done???

April is around the corner...wondering if anyone knows of anything GM will be offering re: the Enclave in April and if it makes sense to wait until next week if I'm deciding this week to do something?

I have not heard of it being done, nor would I would not expect the discount to be as high as $2000 on any of the Lambda vehicles; but hey,there's no harm in trying. Go for it!

I doubt it would hurt to wait until April, since the lease deals essentially suck now, to put it kindly. I wouldn't bet any money that there will be any significant deals in April, though. I think the only significant risk is that the car you're interested in might have been sold.

$1000-$1500 under invoice for a CX-9 is a killer deal. I saw posts in that forum of unbelievable lease rates and low drive-off costs for 27 month leases. Even if you didn't like the car, you could certainly live with it for 27 months. You can get a hell of a lot of car for under $500/month.

The manager of the dealership got the car in stock today on his lot...he dealer traded for it and of course they want to sign the deal before the end of the month...I think since they went through all the time to get it, I am just going to do the deal and pick it up this weekend. I was getting quotes from other dealers last week with same low money down and they were quoting me a 48 month payment of like $699 (way too high especially for 48 months).

BTW, heard the 09' Enclaves will start taking orders on April 17th for delivery starting in mid July. Some differences I've heard are heated/cooled seats and possibly a 285 HP engine (possible a V8 coming but not sure if just a rumor). Would be nice to see them put a keyless system on this vehicle. I am not waiting as prices will change and if too high a lease, I then won't be able to get the 08' at all.

Oh well, GM is going to ride this gravy train for a while and keep lease rates unattractive. If conditions change before my Tahoe lease is up, I'll go for it. As things stand now, I might not continue with leasing a GM car.
