2011 Chevrolet Lease Rates – October 2010

logo_chevyMy Take: How rare is this? Since I am trying to keep an eye out on the Travese, I figure I would post some of their numbers for those of you who are actually interested in leasing one. As you can see, this isn’t looking pretty. Then again, I haven’t seen a pretty lease rate for Chevys in the last two years I’ve been tracking lease rates. Hopefully that will change with the arrival of the Volt. Keep in mind that the money factors here are approximations since Ally Bank uses percentages, not money factors.

2011 Cadillac Lease Rates – October 2010

logo_caddyMy Take: I’m not seeing anything that would make my blood pressure rise over here. It’s a great car, but the residual values are so bad, I just can’t see myself recommending it as a lease.

2011 Mercedes-Benz Lease Rates – October 2010

logo_benzMy Take: Well that didn’t last very long…MBFS decided to bump the money factor up this month. Talk about short-lived! Not sure what the 27-month lease terms look like on the C300 Sport, but if the MF is anything like we see right now, your payments will be more expensive. Not all is lost however. The ML and CLS still have very good lease numbers right now so it is certainly a worth a look if they fall within your budget.  With that said, here’s a shocker for ya….

2011 GLK350 4matic on a 48mo/15k term.
MSRP – $39575
Sale – $35966
Monthly – $480+tax

2011 ML350 4matic on a 48mo/15k term.
MSRP – $50883
Sale – $45036
Monthly – $498+ tax

Sick huh? Here you have a ride that costs $10,000 more leasing for only $18 more than the cheaper model!!! That’s the magic of leasing folks, more car for the money. If you are looking to get into a GLK this month, I would recommend the ML instead.

2011 BMW Lease Rates – October 2010

logo_bmwUPDATE: Looks like there are some changes to October numbers after all. There have been some drops (and one increase) on the 1-series. The 3-series and M3s get a nice drop in money factor on select models. The X5 gets a 0.00010 bump in money factor and most other models remain the same. Things just got sweeter in BMW land!

My Take: As expected, BMW numbers remained the same as last month. If you were looking for a BMW and couldn’t pull the trigger last month, you get another month to make it happen. This is an excellent month for the 3-series, so if you like the numbers, I would recommend getting some quotes sooner than later because I expect numbers to change come November.

2010 Suzuki Lease Rates – September 2010

logo_suzukiMy Take: This is the first Suzuki post I have ever made (and could possibly be the last if their sales don’t pick up) regarding their lease rates. The Kizashi is not a bad looking sports sedan, but I think Suzuki’s distribution channel (and their lack of notoriety) really hurts. The numbers for this sedan are so-so, but it’s a good choice if you are looking to buy out the car at lease-end since the residual is relatively low.

2011 Cadillac Lease Rates – September 2010

logo_caddyMy Take: Recently, the CTS-V vested the M3 on a straight up comparison test on Edmund’s Inside Line. Of course, the folks over at C&D state otherwise, but we all know C&D staff are BMW fanboys (and girls) so their opinion seems rather biased. After reading both articles, I came away feeling disappointed with C&D’s results because their scoring system seem rather arbitrary and heavily influenced on personal opinion. Anyway, read those articles yourself and let me know what you think. I used to consider C&D a top notch magazine, but after this, I don’t even think I can even trust their 10Best picks anymore. In contrast, Inside Line’s reviews seem more honest and transparent which makes for more trust-worthy reviews.

Enough about that, the CTS-V lease numbers may look appalling, but the MF is so low that it makes this car a solid “Lease-To-Buy” candidate. The SRX isn’t half bad either, but there are better SUVs out there that have better numbers, Mercedes-Benz ML350 comes to mind.
