The gmbuypower.com web site does not show any incentives, but I don't believe that is correct.
Alternatively, does anyone recall what the last rebate GM offered during calendar 2005 was?
Thanks!
Thanks

I know I can do better- but I just don't know how much.
The value of this vehicle will be based on whether redesign of the Envoy/TB is going to exist this fall as an '07, or next as an '08?)

We are looking at a base model 06 Trailblazer with a MSRP of 28700 (we get the partner plan though, so our price is $27300, there is also the $1500 in rebates going on, to bring the price down to $25,800). We are looking at 24 and 36 months with 15k miles/year.
What should lease rate and residual value be on this? And which # would we use to calculate lease payment... MSRP or our partner plan price?
Thanks!

I'm trying to decide between 2 different options.
1. Option 1 --- take over an existing lease on a 2006 TB SS with 3K miles for 22 more months for $392 per month, at 10k miles/year. Current lessee pays the $595 transfer fee and I pay the shipping of the car -- $1200 from the east coast to the west coast. I don't pay a security deposit or anything else other than the next monthly payment and then the monthly payments after that. The MSRP on that vehicle is $40,230, with a final cost after multiple discounts including employee and supplier discounts was $35,154.45. I've had the car checked at the dealer and got the Autoguard protection for that inspection. I've contacted GMAC and they say that I cannot increase the miles per year other than to prepay the $0.25 per mile which I think is a very stupid idea.
2. Option 2 -- start a brand new lease for $465 per month for 24 months with 12k miles/year for a new 2006 TB SS, with an MSRP of $36,200, with a local dealer. I'm thinking that if I can get the local dealer to come down to $410 per month, then it's a wash. I'd have to pay 1st month, 1 month security, $595 GMAC fee and $45 documentation fee. So, additional out of pockets of $1115, but I start out with a brand new car. If I had to, I could do 10k miles/year.
What would you advise?
Thank you
Roy
1. $1200 shipping for take over lease vs. $1100 in out of pocket costs for new car
2. 10k/year for take over lease vs. 10k or 12k for new car
3. $393 per month for take over lease vs. $465 for new car.
4. Take over lease car has Navigation and premium sound vs. new car has neither. This one is not so important, but it is fair to mention because take over lease car has higher MSRP.

Now that June is here, what are the residual and lease rates on a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer LT SS? I need the numbers for 24 and 36 months at 12K and 15K miles per year. Are they still the same as published previously (4.9% lease rate, 66% residual for 24 months, 57% for 36 months)? Also, does the $1500 cash rebate still apply to this vehicle in June (SE region)? If these rates still apply this month, I will probably lease this vehicle (with no money down, of course)! Thanks again.

I was given a 39 month 12k lease payment quote of $440 today on a 06 TBSS LT with an MSRP of 40,800. I have to put the first payment down and security deposit. They are giving me supplier pricing of $36,730 with an additional MFG rebate of $2,500. The truck is fully loaded (Navigation/Bose) and lacks only the rainsense wipers. They are telling me there is absolutely no negotiating room is this true? Is this a good deal?
That deal is not bad, but you could have done a little better. If you go to www.fitzmall.com or www.carmax.com, you will see bottom line prices in print for available 06 Trailblazers (including the SS). You can use these published prices for your local dealer to try and beat. The lease numbers for 36 months and 15K miles per year are 57% residual and 4.9% interest. Based on this information, your payment should be in the high $300's instead of mid $400's per month, and that's for 36 months, not 39. The dealer probably marked up the lease numbers to get your payment to $440.

Once you have checked out these articles and understand the basics of leasing, stop back in this discussion. If you provide me with the MSRP and selling price of the truck that you want along with how long you want to lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it I will be happy to give you an idea of what its monthly payment should be like right now.

Are the July lease factors (money factor, residual) the same as June for the 2006 Trailblazer SS? If not, can you give me the lease factors for the following:
24 months, 12K and 15K miles per year
36 months, 12K and 15K miles per year
My wife and I are looking into a 2006 Trailblazer LT, pretty much loaded. Per the internet, the MSRP is $33,660. My wifes grandfather was an engineer at GM, so we qualify for the GSM price, which is $30,186.33 (again per the GM Family First website). Right now there is $3750 in cash back incentives. So, I am coming up with a Cap Cost of $26,436.33. Am I calculating that right with the incentive?
We are looking for a 36 month lease with 12,000 miles per year. Can you estimate payments for me? It sounds like the residual value would be 57% or 60%. How do I convert Chevy's 4.9% lease rate into a money factor?
Thanks,

Please forward the lease terms (residual, money factor) for the 2006 Trailblazer SS (24 and 36 months, 12K and 15K miles per year). Also, is there any cash rebate (SE region) or lease cash on this vehicle?

Thanks for the information. Regarding the lease cash, it appears that GM is offering about $3500 rebate in other regions (i.e. northern) but not in the SE region. Even though I live in the SE region, can I purchase a vehicle from a dealer in another region to take advantage of this large rebate? Also, why in the world would GM penalize its customers for living in certain regions by not offering rebates available to other regions? Seems like a very dumb idea to me for a company that is desperate to sell SUV's..
Car_Man, I have some dumb questions. I am interested in leasing an '06 Trailblazer LT with an MSRP of about $31k. I am in Las Vegas, which is Western region. First, is there any lease incentive from GM that you know of? Second, what would you say is a fair cap cost to negotiate down to with the dealer, specifically, how much would be a reasonable amount for the dealer to kick in as a cap cost reduction? I've read all the posts in this forum and haven't seen anything about a ballpark value one should target for the dealer's contribution to making a deal happen. $500? $1,000? $2,000? And again, I mean what the dealer kicks in, not GM.
Also, I saw a commercial on TV just now about a $1,500 down payment matching incentive on purchase or lease for the '06 Trailblazer that is good until September 5 only. It looked like a GM ad, but the GM website makes no mention of it. It was definitely not from one dealer only though. Anyone know about this? Is it possibly from a group of Las Vegas dealers that got together to offer this?
Lastly, what are the current residuals and interest rates on the 24 and 36 month lease options for '06 Trailblazers? I hope I'm not asking too many questions. Thanks.
PLEASE DO NOT GO TO GREENWAY IN ORLANDO!!! They lie for a sale! I have a 2 year old that was with us during this buying process and they played nice through the whole event, playing on my heartstrings that this SUV was good for the family. Now I can't even drive it out of my front yard!
Talked to a manager today and he basically blew me off despite the salesmen assuring me that if anything went wrong within 30 days they would take care of it.
GREENWAY in ORLANDO= LEMONS! GO ANYWHERE BUT THERE! :mad:
Can you give me some payment information on a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer LS with an MSRP of $28,910 and a GM Supplier price of $27,306.75. I'd like info for a 10,000 mile lease for 48 months.
I'm also considering another 2006 Chevy Trailblazer LS with an MSRP of $28,705 and a GM Supplier price of $27,135.37. Also, for a 10,000 mile lease for 48 months.
Is GM offering any lease cash on 2006 Chevy Trailblazers?
Thank you so much for your assistance.
$6300 is pretty cheap for an even bottom of the line LS 02 TB. The list price for retail is almost $11,000 (not accounting for any mileage adjustment).

The $1,500 incentive that you saw advertised was a special bonus cash incentive that GM was providing on this truck over the Labor Day holiday. Unfortunately, it is no longer available.
Here's the current lease program for this truck. GMAC's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 15,000 miles per year are 4.9% and 66%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 4.9% and 57%.

What are the updated residual and lease rates for the 2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS? I was considering 36 or 39 months at 15K miles per year. Also, is there lease cash available in Michigan? Doubtful, I know with such a new model, but I thought I'd ask. I plan to lease with no money down. Thanks in advance!
