I know this isn't exactly the place to ask but I know there's a lot of dealers in this forum. So does GM have any competetive lease offers going on at the moment? Particularly on 'fun' types of cars like manual transmission models?

3 grand and 300 bucks a month not including tax seems a tad steep. Honda was offering me a 29850 (Sticker price) accord w/ nav, V6, 6-speed, XM, heated seats, etc for I think 15 dollaras more a month than that but with only 1500 due at lease signing... that's 15k miles a year, too.

 

That doesn't seem bad at all. I was looking at the G6 GTP and the estimate is $1230 down payment, $333/month, 12,000 miles/year for 48 months.

 

i Think 4800$ down and 299 a month for a Tahoe on 20's... 299 a month is outragous... its a 48 month lease... for 36 months our dealership was offering 174 for a cobalt 289 for a EXT TB and 299 for a Crew Cab and those were with like 1000-1500 down...

 

Just posting the car GM car that best fit your prefrences and style. I didn't know what is a good lease rate, I never looked into it before.

 

Corvette. Whatever they happen to be asking, it's worth it.

Z51 6-spd with T-top = $47,045.00 MSRP
36 months, 36,000 miles
$2200 down
$858/mth and worth every penny.

Step up and grow a pair.

 

WTH? I could ride a pink girl's bicycle to work, and still have a pair. If the car makes the man, 'tis a sad "man," indeed.

You're right, though. New Corvette is worth it. I'm just too cheap to make a house payment on a car. It's a disease.

 

858/month? lol

That's over 33,000 dollars paid out over 3 years and 36,000 miles. Even if I paid sticker price on the Vette and couldn't find a better deal that's assuming that after only 3 years and 36000 miles, that car would only be worth 14,000 dollars?? At those rates you'd be flat out NUTS to not just buy it and sell it after 3 years if that's all you wanted it for anyway.

I was looking at the loan on an 06 Audi A4... 349/month, zero down. That's ~8400 bucks for 24 months (term of the lease). Sounds good to me if I can only find a way to bump up the turbo boost without them finding out.

 

Yeah, crap for that just get a 03 Z06 for around 25-30k if you look around and you'll have just about as much horsepower, and you'll own the thing.

 

Ah, young warrior...

The point was not the great deal that the lease was or was not in purely numerical terms.

The point was that a Corvette is worth pretty much whatever GM decides to ask for it. Unlike the Germo-turd you quoted the price for in your last paragraph.

My standing bet is this:

Threxx, I actually think fairly highly of you, and were you ever to own a Corvette and do the things with it that Corvettes should have done with them...

...like racing...

You'd be hooked for life.

 

Yeah I know... I've been planning to get a C5 (or now C6) Vette when I can afford one ever since I drove my uncle's brand new 97 C5 within the first week of them being for sale to the public (waiting list only - which he had been on for a long time). Problem is I only want one if it's a second vehicle, not a daily driver. And that costs more $$$ than is in my budget... for now.

 

I agree with you Pacer, but the Corvette takes a BIG depreciation hit still. 04-05 Z06s can be had now for as much as a new Trailblazer!!!

You might as well finance the vette for 5 and own the thing if your going to pay 33k on it in 3 years. Or just wait until it's two years old and buy the thing for 33k!

 

858 per month for a Vette? That sounds WAY too high, Pacer. You'd be better off buying it at the at rate, by far. As Threxx pointed out, that is an absurdly high depreciation (or a crazy equivalent interest rate). Show me a 2002 or 2003 Vette that is only worth $14k with only 36k miles on it, so I can go buy it... "01s in nice shape are still over $20k ...

I've driven several C6s, including the new Z06, and understand what you mean about the Vette being worth every penny they are asking for it. But I look at that in terms of MSRP, not a made up number in a lease rate. It would be worth those pennies to OWN the car, but not to BORROW it for three years.

 

Devil dog...

You missed the point.

The number is irrelevant.

The car is in a class of one. Buy it, lease it, sell your firstborn, it's worth it.
