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.

I got a lease that was fully loaded Package 1 & 2.
The payment is $418.00 including California Taxes
36 Months 15,000 Miles. I put down $1,750
I know the money factor was about 1.9 thru Ally.
It included 1st payment.
Where are you located?

Is there a Volt shortage? I went to a dealer today and they made me an absurd lease offer of $550 per month with nothing down. That's a joke. I called another in Los Angeles and the dealer said he'd call me back -- nothing back from him! What gives? Just a few weeks ago people were reporting crazy good deals. Now I can't even get one. Is this related to the Volt plant shutdown not long ago or just the market reaction to the gas spike and the good lease deals? At this point, I'm looking at waiting until end of Dec or January. Maybe I will comparison shop with the Ford plug-ins too.
