California Buick Car Dealers

Carman!!! Can you get me the 2011 lease rates for 2011 CXS for 10k a year? Also, do you know of any incentives in CA? I currently own a Suburban, and I'm looking to get out of a BMW lease. Thanks, TORTEZ

Car Man, can you please comment on how good this Lease deal is for State of CA: Buick Enclave CXL-1 MSRP: $43,650 Dealer Incentive: - $1,809 Lease Aquisition fee: $795 Ally Bank Lease reduction: -2,350 Net Cap Cost: $40,286 39 months - 12k miles per year 2.70 APR (they could not give me money factor) 47% residual: $20,515.50 $576.06 Payment (NOT including tax)

Car_man, You're the best there is. Can you please help me work out the real cost of a lease for a 2011 Buick Enclave CXL. The MSRP with options of the car I want is $45,645. Edmunds has the invoice price at $42,964.70. Looking for a 36 month (12K miles per year) lease with no cap reduction (no money down). Can I assume that the residual is around 36%-38%. No clue what the real money factor is. What is my monthly payment and inception (drive off) costs in CA? James

I have never owned an American manufactured car and would never consider one (unless, maybe a Corvette...but not right now in my life with 3 young kids). Anyway, looking at the Mazda CX9, Volkswagen Toureg 2, Acura MDX and one or two others. Why is GM offering such a nice vehicle but then making it so outrageously expensive that the lease programs SUCK. If I were buying it, no problem. Go to my bank, not the dealership, and get a good finance rate...end of story. But, for leasing...quoted for a very loaded (no Hard Drive NAV, No DVD, No Rear Camera system)...does include the package with the rotating headlamps, remote start, back up beeping in bumper, dual moonroofs and one or two other miscelaneous add ons...sticker price of car was $39,400 list. Price with $1,500 at start total, 15K miles annually, 39 months was $681 including the sales tax of 6 1/2%. Is this a good deal? For 36 months, same miles, $658/month. Now, this was without some options as stated above. It did have the bigger chrome wheel package available in CA, TX and FL only. It's really a shame to me because for a car that is loaded at $43,000 area, with about the $1,000 to $1,500 total at start, I would expect to pay about $550-$650/month. I also was looking at a Japanese car (Infiniti) with a sticker price of $51,000 and the lease for 39 months with $1,000 due total at start was about the same...$650 plus tax. I know there are many factors involved including residuals, lease factors and such but GM finally got a car I am somewhat interested in and they are screwing it up for themeselves and everybody who would otherwise want to lease one at a competitive rate...which they definitely are NOT!!! Shame on you GM...you lost my business for a long time (not that you ever had it before but now you'll never get it).

The Fresno CA dealer, Kitahara, seems to always have 2-4 Enclaves at the front of their lot. Jim, the fleet guy, was willing to deal with us. We ended up buying from Carriage Motors in Temecula for $500 over invoice on October 10, because they had the red one I was looking for and I wanted to avoid the ordering wait I have read about. The Bay Area dealers seemed MSRP -and-up only when we did our shopping. Good luck. I heartily endorse this vehicle.
