Cofla99:
 
I ended up with the Enclave and Q7 as my top 2 choices when buying a car last May. I found that with Audi's excellent leasing deals (basically no interest on their leases), the monthly payment on a 3.6 Premium Q7 with Nav, 20in wheels, 4 seasons, panorama roof, bluetooth, convenince, and premium paint came to only $695/mo for 36 months, with 12K miles per year. The upfront costs were $3000, part of which was the first payment.
 
While the Buick is quite nice, and a good bit roomier than the Audi, the GM lease rates and residuals are not good at all. The loaded Enclave (CXL AWD) I attempted to buy ended up with a lease pmt of $690/mo, with the same mileage and term as the Audi. For the extra $5 per month, there is no comparison.
 
I found that the Edmunds true market price is about on target for here in MD. Check your local dealers, and hold out for the true market prices. Use the true market price to estimate your lease pmt. Also, the Edmunds lease pmt program was spot on with all of lease calculations I did. Figure out your sales price, and plan on 51% residual (52% with the Audi Care program) rate.

Lease Deal in July '08 by slam

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?
