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.

Funny, I just did the same thing with Audi. I am coming up on the end of my 2nd Audi A6 lease. You would think maybe they would care about some retention of previous customers..NO. I called to schedule my lease turn in check up where they inspect the vehicle (pre turn in inspection) and told her I am getting my new car on Saturday. She asked if it was another Audi...I kindly explained my frustration with Audi and their high pricing of options and she told me there is a whold thing going on with Audi concerning that exact suject. They price the options in pkgs that are too expensive instead of just offering the ones I want a la carte like years before. As it turns out, I am very excited about getting the new Enclave and it does feel good to support our country and buy a USA made car...I just hope they don't screw it up for me and sell me a lemon. Fingers crossed!!!!

I feel your frustration myself. About the only other GM vehicle that interests me is the Saab 93. I am waiting until around May or later when I'm well into the Pull Ahead period to explore whether pricing is better on the Enclave or whether the Saab is worth acquiring. I can tell you through 2 GM vehicle leases, I had warranty service only one time for an extremely minor issue on the Tahoe. That being said, I drive way less than the 12K mi/yr allowed on the lease. If you look at the owner reviews on The Enclave or just about any other car on this site, you'll see a mixed bag of horror and love stories. I hope yours is one of the latter.

Hi bondguy1. While the Buick Enclave is a nice vehicle and I definitely understand the merits of buying American, $660 per month for one is nuts. For that sort of money, I personally would be looking at a BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Acura, or Lexus. The Enclave's current lease program is pretty bad, so if you want to lease one it is important to get as large a dealer discount as possible. You never mentioned the selling price of the vehicle that you are interested in leasing. 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 car 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. Myself and others will happily give you our opinions of this deal if you let us know what its selling price is.
