Don't expect the sales to go down by fall -- maybe by the 2009 model year if at all. I just saw an article that quoted a Buick spokesman saying they have a waiting list of 3,000 -- I'm sure that's accurate because I'm one of them! They're adding a 3rd shift at the Lansing Delta Township Plant, where all 3 Lambda's are mfg -- but according to the Buick spokesman, this is temporary to get caught up with the backlog of orders and will apparently be used almost exclusively to build the Enclave (or maybe they will shift Acadia and Outlook to 3rd shift production and build Enclaves almost exclusively during shifts 1 & 2).
They have no intention of keeping the 3rd shift unless demand remains strong -- they do not want to overbuild and have Enclaves sitting on lots. Right now, this vehicle has the shortest time of any in inventory across the country -- less than 5 days on average. In many cases, they're sold before the wheels ever hit the ground and I have heard of many instances where several folks bid against one another and have paid upwards of $3K over MSRP.
Car_Man, can you please answer my request up above for current August Lease Terms for the Enclave. Dealers are being non-committal about the MF -- I'd really like to know what it is -- instead of taking the dealer's word.
Thanks

I ordered my Enclave July 6th and was told about 8 weeks. The other day I went into the dealership and the sales manager said definitely by the first week of October. He also told me about the third shift business. I'll be lucky if I have it by Christmas!!

Hi js76. I haven't worked up any payments on the Enclave lately, but I doubt that one can lease one for $400 per month with nothing down. You probably can get one for less than $500 per month though. If I was personally in the market for a 7-passenger SUV, I would seriously consider getting a Honda Pilot. It is usually one of the best values for this type of vehicle.

Hi desgnconcpts. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Buick Enclave with 15,000 miles per year are 8.0% and 60%, respectively. The lease rate for a 39 month lease would be the same, but its residual value would be 59%.

You're absolutely right, vtraudt. The Mercedes-Benz R-Class is an outstanding deal right now. I am not personally a big fan of its looks  , but for I can overlook its styling to get such a useful Mercedes at an amazing price.

How much was out of pocket on the Audi? I looked at 3.5 Premium with tech package and they gave me a stupid offer of $3500, 785 a month. I walked out. Right now I have a loaded FX35  399 mt. The program was unique and I lucked out, but the lease term is up.

I was out of pocket about $3900, detailed as follows: $2500 Cap cost reduction, $495 lease fee, $200 T&T, and $704 for first months payment. I got a 2007 3.6 Premium, with the Panorama Roof, 20inch wheels, convenience and infotainment packages, Bluetooth, Sirius (not worth the monthly fee) 3rd seat, 4 Zone Climate Control, and the extra cost Garnet Red Color. My selling Price was $53200. That deal was at the end of May, and was the best deal I could find in the metro Baltimore, Southern PA, and DC markets

Car_Man, October Lease RV's and MF please!

Hello Car_Man,
Can you please post the October lease rates for the Enclave CXL models (I'm pretty sure FWD and AWD are the same):
36 mos -- 10K mi, 12K mi, 15K mi
39 mos -- 10K mi, 12K mi, 15K mi
Assuming the "buy rate" Money Factor is the same no matter the term/mileage. Really need the Residual Value for each to make a comparison of how long to lease and how many miles.
Would really appreciate your help.
Thank You!

And a 48 month, 48,000 mile lease is 55% 8.0%...a good deal for me because I won't have to give another $3,500 for taxes, etc., etc. It came out to $15./month less...which was $519./month on a CXL FWD, Red, Driver Convience, Luxury and Cargo Net...about $34,500.
