    Ally bank uses percentages instead of a true MF... So, it's 1.85%, not .00185...

    I am looking to pull the trigger on a 2014 CTS V-Sport Performance sedan before the end of the year. I saw on one site that there was a $1000 loyalty lease credit (I have a current lease expiring on a Cadillac). Does anyone know of additional incentives, as well as MF and Residual for the 2014 CTS V-Sport? Also, I have a supplier price quote of $65,600…has anyone seen better deals? (True Car is quoting over $67K)

    The residual depends on option packages.. 1SC, 1SD, 1SE, 1SF get you the lower residual.

    Hello. I've leased BMWs in the past but never a Cadillac or a GM vehicle. I noticed the MF is quoted as a percent. To calculate the monthly finance charge of a cadillac lease payment, would the formula be:
    (cap cost + residual value) x (% / 2400) ?

    I am interested in a 2014 cts 2.0t standard rwd. What are MF, residual value, and incentives for 24 and 36 month leases with 15,000 miles per year? Are there any subsidized or special leases for 27 or 39 months?

    After negotiating the cap cost, what incentives are available? I see a $1,500 allowance for current non-GM owners. How does this get combined with any other incentives?

    Sorry for the numerous questions. Thanks in advance.

    1.81% MF and 62% residual for 24mo, 15K/yr. 60% residual for 27mo, 15K.

    $1200 lease cash on all terms. I think that cash would be in addition to any other incentives.

    Your finance charge formula above is correct.

    Thank you. Please check my math on the following 24 and 36 month offers. I am most concerned about the Monthly Finance Charge calculation as I do not know if i am utilizing the money factor percentage correctly.

    Less Dealer Discount: $1,578.00
    Selling Price: $44,447.00
    Less Conquest Incentive: $1,500.00
    Less California Incentive: $1,000.00
    Less Mfr Incentive: $1,200.00
    Net Cap Cost: $40,747.00

    Term: 24 months
    Annual Mileage: 15,000 miles
    Residual: $28,536 (62% of MSRP)
    Money Factor (as decimal): .000754 (1.81/2400=.000754)
    Monthly Depr: $508.79
    Monthly Finance Charge: $52.25
    Monthly Pre Tax Total: $561.04

    Term: 36 months
    Annual Mileage: 15,000 miles
    Residual: $25,314 (55% of MSRP)

    Monthly Depr: $428.69
    Monthly Finance Charge: $42.94
    Monthly Total: 471.63

    Thanks in advance for reviewing.

  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,188

    Your calculations are exactly correct, but if I'm not mistaken, the variable numbers I quoted previously were for 27 month and 39 month leases, not 24 and 36.

    If you recalculate with the longer terms, you'll see a big drop in monthly payment...

    Thanks for checking my math. You did give me numbers for the 27 and 39 month terms, and I calculated those, too. I just wanted to post the 24 and 36 to verify my calculations. Thanks again. Super helpful.

    I'm looking to lease a new 2014 CTS sedan in April with these parameters:

    2.0T RWD Luxury
    36 or 39 month term
    10,000 or 12,000 miles/yr

    What are the current money factors?
    What are the residual rates?

    I am aware if the $1500 cash incentive for non-GM owners which I qualify for.
    I also have GM cars earnings that I can use.

    Are there any other GM cash incentives that apply to this model?
    Not sure if the lease terms or incentives are regional but I live in Delaware.

    Thanks...

    Subtract 2% from residual for 39 months. Add 1% to residual for 10K/yr.

    Any other incentive information we have would be available under the Car Research tab, at the top of the page.

    See my post above. I'm in California, so the incentives may be different. One dealer has offered me the cts 2.0t rwd sedan at invoice. I am eligible for three incentives. The net cap cost would be invoice less incentives.

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    What financing company does GM use?

    Not familiar with the term lease cash. What is it and how is it used when determining the final cap cost?

    I went back and reviewed your previous post which was helpful.
    Like you I was able to negotiate the selling price at invoice. However, the only incentive that I was offered as a BMW owner was the Conquest Incentive of $1,500. I was not offered the Mfr Incentive of $1,200.
    Is the Mfr Incentive money directly from GM that is available to me and should be applied after the final negotiated selling price?

    I suspect that the dealer is attempting to keep this incentive to add to their profit. I also was quoted a higher MF than the 1.56% that was posted here.

    Think that it may be time to check out other dealers as there are several within a short drive.

    Thanks for you feedback...

    The numbers I quote are from Ally Bank. On some programs, dealers find better numbers going through USBank, though I don't have those programs.

    I'm fairly certain that the lease cash has to be used as a Cap cost reduction (meaning, you'll pay tax on it).

    Doing some research on leasing a 2014 Cadillac CTS Luxury package. Got a mailing for current Cadillac owners to get $3500 toward the purchase/lease of a new CTS. I'm from Ohio. Could you tell me the current money factor (top tier credit), and residual for 2014 Cadillac CTS Luxury package at 10K/mile per year for 36 months? Have you heard of the $3500 offer to current Cadillac owners?

    2.0T - 1.56% MF and 61% residual. $1200 lease cash.

    3.6 - 1.56% MF and 58% residual. $1200 lease cash.

    I've not heard about this $3500 offer, but it would certainly help to reduce the payment on a new CTS.
