2011 Cadillac Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/152012/01/31 by G

My Take: I must say, the CTS coupe numbers actually look decent for a GM vehicle. Just look at how low the money factor is!! That breaks down to 0.9% for the 24-month lease and 0.6% for the 36-month lease. The residuals are not exactly great, but they are better than a lot of cars. To sweeten the deal, Ally bank has a $1,550 rebate you can use, which should offset the low residual by a few percentage points. Here’s a recommendation: Keep an eye out on GM vehicles because I am starting to see some of their leases come back and they look pretty competitive.

Here’s a quick sample payment for a CTS Performance RWD based on SoCal numbers (which should apply to most areas with good dealer competition):

MSRP $47655
TrueCar Sale Price $44772

Monthly $572 + tax. (85 rating on my calculator)

I think that with a little more aggressive sale price, this lease could become even more attractive.

2011 Volvo Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/112010/11/11 by G

My Take: Sadly, last month’s Volvo numbers remain for the month of November. Not even Costco Auto’s promotion can save it from being a great deal, unless you decide to buy. Buying isn’t a bad thing, but I also know that you didn’t scour the internet to end up in a leasing website and have it’s owner tell you to buy. I’m just telling it like it is though. When lease rates stink and you won’t settle for anything else, you have to see what kind of deal you can get on a purchase instead. Not all is lost though, the S80 isn’t too bad of a deal and could qualify for a “Lease-to-Buy” if the sale price is right. Then you can add on the $500 Costco card for extra savings.

This month’s Volvo numbers are courtesy of North Point Volvo. If you are in or near the Alpharetta, GA area and looking for a Volvo, please give them a call.

2011 Volkswagen Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/102010/11/13 by G

My Take: GTI rates actually look worse than last month. 1% drop in residual, a hike in money factor and no lease cash usually means slightly higher monthly payments. The CC on the other hand, looks promising. Too bad I’m not in the market for a 4-seater sedan, otherwise I would really consider getting one of those. The Golf numbers looks great and the Tiguan is not too bad either. I’m not sure I like the Jetta’s numbers though, but at the right sale price, it could work.

These lease rates are brought to you by Number1Leasing, a nationwide auto broker with 30 locations across the country. They are currently offering an extra $100 off for customers who mention RIDE with G when requesting a quote. Please contact Daniel Efraimov for more details.

2011 Mercedes Benz Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/102010/11/10 by G

Update: Here are the remaining lease rates from MBs which look relatively unchanged from last month. ML and CLS should still remain very strong leases, with the ML being recommended over the GLK since the payments aren’t too far apart.

My Take: So far the C-Class numbers look the same as October, however, the 27-month lease has changed (lower residual value), hopefully those of you looking for a C300 were able to snatch one before the residual drop. I should have more numbers later on the full line of Mercedes-Benz models.

2010-11 Nissan Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/10 by G

My Take: Looks like the 2011 are still a bit high on the MF, but the 2010 look like pretty solid leases still if you can find one. Better yet, I would recommend buying since they have 0% APR loans for 2010s. There’s also cash on select models in case you decide to pay cash or finance through a different lender.

As you know, I’ve been working with a few brokers to get lease rates for you (since dealers generally do not share this information willingly) in exchange for some advertising. Therefore, if you would like to use one, it would help keep the numbers coming on a monthly basis. As a special incentive, I’ve been informed that you can get an additional $100 off through Number1Leasing if you mention my website, RIDE with G. They deal nationwide, with about 30 locations across the country so finding you a car shouldn’t be too difficult. Anyway, if you are interested, contact Daniel Efraimov and tell him I sent you.

2011 Audi Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/092010/11/09 by G

My Take: As expected, residuals have begun to decline in most cars this month, some more drastic (BMW), while others are a bit more subtle. Audi has dropped their residuals around 1%, which is more on the subtle side. That’s good news since their leases should remain about the same as last month. Here’s a scenario for you guys based on one of the cars on my Shopping List:

Audi A3 S-Tronic Frontrak Premium

MSRP: $32750
Sale: $32016
Monthly: $357, $392 with LA County tax (9.75%) and about $1500 due at signing to cover inception fees.

If I were to drop a few options like 18″ rims, cold weather and pano sunroof, I could probably drop this down to the low $300s. It’s true that the Premium model doesn’t come with the fancy LED lights, but it’s still the same car and it’s cheaper so no complaints here.

Should you choose to lease through LeaseCompare.com, you can take advantage of Fleet Incentives ranging from $500 to $2000 on select models. Not too shabby if you ask me, but be sure to do some comparison shopping before you sign on the dotted line to ensure the best deal.

Published 2010/11/07 by G

My Take: Numbers have changed on the Sonata this month. Hyundai has an awesome sales month in October so I am guessing they will be push hard to make November just as good. I’ll keep my eyes out on the Turbo and other numbers, so check back later.

2011 BMW Lease Rates – November 2010

Published 2010/11/04 by G

UPDATE: The first set of lease rates to kick-off the Holiday Season and BMWFS lays a REAL stinker. Residuals drop. Money Factors either drop slightly, stay the same or go up a little. Sure, there is “holiday cash” available now, but “fixed dollar” rebates rarely offset hefty drops in residual value. This means that the higher the price tag, the more insignificant that lease rebate becomes. If you don’t believe me, feel free to crunch the numbers yourself and compare it to last month’s lease rates. One has to wonder if last month’s “higher-than-usual” sales volume had anything to do with this. Anyway, it’s incredible how much residuals dropped this month. We’re talking 3-5% of many of the popular models! Crazy! Lets hope that at least sale prices drop a bit more this month compared to last.
