Could someone post the definitive residual and money factor rates for 15k miles on 36 month lease for a Volt?
What are the incentives from Ally?

Residuals are lower compare to October. It's 43% for 36m/15k and 41% 39m/15k with $2440 CCR. Add 2% for 12k/year. Same for both navi and non-navi. Keep in mind the residual is before adding the $7500 federal tax credit. Money factor is .00048 or 1.15% Financed to US Bank. I don't have one for Ally.
 
These numbers are for November and December.

#193 of 315 Figuring Volt lease with tax credits by bromion

Nov 07, 2012 (7:20 pm)

I'm trying to figure out the Volt lease price but I'm confused as to how the tax credits work. In California, there's an additional $1500 credit, I believe, bringing the total credit to $9000. Does this get applied directly to the final cap cost of the car? What happens to the residual? I'm using the Edmunds calculator. Given these credits, what numbers do I enter for Incentives and Rebates and Lease Residual? Thanks!

Getting different messages from dealer. Do you reduce the negotiated price by 7500 (tax credit) and then by 2500 (ally incentive) when leasing? Can't seem to make the math work. Anyone who actually leased, can you post the detailed math here?

You add the $7500 to the residual. So if the residual is 43%, you add $7500 on top of that. This reduces your depreciation charge by $7500. This significantly inflates the purchase price at the end of your lease. I doubt that the Volt will be worth the inflated residual after 36 months.

You apply for the $1500 rebate after you get the car from the dealer. You have to submit the purchase information to the state to receive that rebate. It takes about 6-8 weeks. It doesn't affect your lease payment. If you get rid of the Volt before 36 months, you have to give part or all of that $1500 back to the state.

OK, so the $1500 doesn't factor in the lease at all, but how about the $7500? How does that compute into the lease?

It increases your residual by $7500. So your rent charge(depreciation) gets reduced by $7500 off the bat. This can reduce your monthly payment by up to $208 ($7500/36) depending on the money factor. All the special lease ads you see for the Volt already have this figured into the monthly payment so don't assume that it's a additional reduction to the lease payment.

You only add $7500 to the residuals for US Bank not Ally. Ally residuals already have the $7500 built in, how much of that is built into it is not known. I don't think there's a $2500 Ally lease incentive. Where did you see that? I believe there's only a $500 subprime incentive and $500 targeted mailer cash incentive for Ally.
