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 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.

2010 Cadillac Lease Rates – July 2010

logo_caddyMy Take: Cadillac’s purchase financing is 0% APR for up to 72 months (for well-qualified buyers), which beats the heck out of any lease program they may have right now. If you are considering a luxury sedan you want to own, the CTS may not be a bad idea. Caddy’s have come a long way and the CTS in particular, it’s in a class of it’s own. Priced like an entry level luxury compact sedan, but it’s more like a mid-sized one.

2010 Cadillac CTS, SRX Lease Rates – March 2010

logo_caddyMy Take: GMAC is back into the leasing business and they are trying to make things interesting by providing some lease support on the more popular SRX and CTS models. I still think the residuals are bit low, but not that seems to be the case with a lot of manufacturers these days. The CTS does have a very low money factor, so it’s worth a look. The SRX isn’t all that bad either, but I would prefer it to be in the low .00100s or lower. Either way, its worth checking out if you are in the market for something like the X3 or the Q5. This could be a decent alternative.
