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!
$0 down
$700 a month
???
I remember reading something to the effect that it was possible to lease the enclave for less than $500 a month?
Since the Enclave has a 48 month bumper-to-bumper warranty, does it make sense to do a 48 month lease? Or are most people going with 36 month leases?
Thanks for any input!
Do you happen to know the money factor and residual values for the following:
Buick Acadia CXL AWD
36 month/ 12K year
39 month/ 12K year
48 month/12K year
Thank you so much!!!
Hope this helps.
615*36 (months) = $22,140 subtract the 5 payments total $2,500 =$19,640 my costs for the 3 years
41,000 (car would cost me) -19,640 (3 year lease cost) = $21,360 - I would have to sell for at least at the end of the 3 years.
You've helped me secure terrific deals on my last two leases - thanks for the service you provide here! My RX330 lease is up and I'm looking for help in negotiating my next vehicle. Can you provide the November money factor and residual for the following lease?
2008 Buick Enclave CXL
36 mo lease
15,000 mi/yr
Thanks,
Ken
36 months / 10k miles 65% residual $757.89
36 months / 12k miles 63% residual $794.65
36 months / 15k miles 60% residual $826.32
I bought a program called leasewizard, ran some numbers myself then sent him this email, am I out of line or is this realistic?

From what I can tell via (edmunds.com) The Enclave as you described is $46,175 MSRP and $42,279 Invoice, now if we did the deal at a cap cost of $44,000 with a GM Smartlease (12k Miles, 63% Residual, 8.0% Money Factor) my math is putting me at a payment of $661.57 which seems reasonable to me.

What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!!

Looking for some feedback on this offer I just received (12/23)... Car_man, if you're out there, please chime in with your expertise.

Price: 37100
Term: 39mo
Rate: 8.0
Residual: .59 ($23,375.80)
Doc Fee: 599.00
Cash Down: 2500

Sec Deposit: 600

They first offered $618/mo w/out Taxes & 2k down, I chuckled. Then he bragged about how he was going to give me this wonderful, take-it or leave-it offer that was unbeatable and unbelievable. That he had Dealer Coupons that he would credit me but this offer was to die for.
I'm not really impressed. He up-ed the down payment, the lease rate is 8%, and the security deposit is awful high. Is this guy blowing smoke up my [non-permissible content removed]? I'm not really feeling the holiday love...
Looking for feedback!!!
All the best!
I would be happy to give you my feedback on this truck's selling price if you provide me with its MSRP. It will show me how much of a discount you are being given on it. The $600 security deposit is right in line with what it should be for a vehicle that has a $485 monthly payment, but the $599 doc fee is pretty high.

So , I price out a fully loaded CXL, all the packages, red jewel tintcoat, MSRP $46945
I am from eastern Nassau County, LI and contacted the internet sales manager at Arnold Buick. I get quoted a buy price of $44,811. Invoice is approx. 43,108. I guess $1700 over invoice for a Buick is acceptable at the moment.
When I asked for the Smart Lease pricing, I got quoted a rate of $603/mo for 39 months, with $3000 down.
$603/month for a Buick! BUICK!!! That pricing is already into Audi territory, among others. What is GM thinking??
At this rate, I will probably hold the Tahoe to the end of the lease and jump to another vehicle. The CX-9 GT is already on my short list.
2500 down (total out of pocket - taxes, fees, etc.)
36 mo.
15k miles
dealer to pay my last month lease payment ($459) and lease return fee on my current car
$650/mo.
From those who know - is this a deal, or no deal?
I think the lease price is too high, indicative of poor lease support by GM on the entire class of Lambda vehicles. You could be driving an Audi for that kind of money.
2008 Enclave CXL AWD
19" Chrome Alloy Wheels
Chrome Package
Power Sunroof w/ Second Row Sunlight
Luxury Pkg.
Driver Confidence Pkg.
Cargo Net
Cargo Shade
Entertainment Pkg #3 (NAV and all the good stuff but no DVD player)
Above Pkg has the Bose stereo but not the 5.1 system (not sure if that matters that much soundwise)
Black Metallic Paint
Ebony Leather inside
39 month lease, total at start to dealer including 1st month is $1,000, 15K miles annually with .15c mile over---payments of $660/month plus tax= $699 including tax
First of all, is this a good price for this lease...including the $735 destination charge, this vehicle stickers for $43,925. I can do 36 month lease with same parameters for $725/month including tax (not sure if this is a better deal or not).
Any and all help appreciated...looking to do this soon. Thanks in advance.
There similar statements (argueing for or against Enclave vs. Premium Cars).
GM gets away with low discounts (buy), high financial cost (money factor, interest rate; lease) because: demand is high!
As long as everyone seems to want it, the cost of ownership will remain high.
What makes things worse (for leasing) is a (likely) low residual value.
So yes: currently, you get easily 5000 to 10000 dollar "more car" at Audi and MB until the Encleave craze is over. But you can save some big bucks already by buying the virtually same Saturn or GMC; I bet GM is offering much better deals on those.

Is this a competitive deal???
Again, I do hope that you enjoy your new Enclave.
