Prices Paid

[crowdedstr]

What are you guys paying monthly? I want to get back into one but damn, they show around $1000/month on sites. I know I can probably get that lower, but wow!

$663 month.
15k/39 month lease.
2015i SLT w/ Open Road, 2nd row Bucket Seats, and 20" wheels

65.1k sticker, 58.5 sale price, 2.64% APR/ .00110 MF (buy rate at the time), $4200 or so down. Can't remember what residual was at the time I purchased... maybe 53% or so... pretty low since I bought later in the model year.

Guess I don't understand the value of leasing. In my mind that's lighting $30K on fire.

I actually thought about leasing because it would've been cheaper since I buy and sell/trade a lot but with my trade in difference of 2k + 4k cash down (6k total) they still wanted to do a three year lease for $714/month.

Ended up getting a 2015i SLT sticker price $60,800. $4500 off and I haggled them to give me $3200 for trade in difference (instead of $2000). Got 3.2% financing and put $4k cash down for a six year loan of $835/month. I plan on keeping this vehicle for many many years since it's my first new vehicle so I'm glad I can keep it instead of returning it had I leased. $124 more a month won't kill me and I think is well worth the extra bit.

Can I get input on this price for a 36 or 39 month lease? Fair? Too high?

2015i Tahoe LT - Nav + other options = ~57000 msrp
605 total monthly (includes tax)
4000 total out the door down (not including registration)

Thanks.

That seems fair to me, and obviously take this fwiw and do what suits you but are you sure you want to put 4k down on a lease? I can sorta justify the monthly payments on a lease internally but I would have a hard time parting with 4k up front. I mean you're basically lighting 25k on fire to drive a car for 3 years and getting nothing when you're done. Unless you're planning on buying at the end of your lease and just looking for a way to temporarily keep your payments low on a new vehicle.

Another idea might be to buy a slightly used 2015. You can finance ~41k over 6 years at 1.99% for $605/month. You could easily imo get a used 2015 with ~ 22k miles on it for $42k + tax, title and plates with a bit of negotiating. Put your $4k down and finance approx $41k for the same payment.

Sell your Tahoe in 3 years for ~ $32-34k. You'd have maybe a $19k check to cut to your bank to pay off the loan and would have $10-$15k back in your pocket. You're still outlaying ~$23k over 3 years but at the end of that period you're getting half of it back to put towards your next vehicle or buy your wife a boob job.

Thanks for your feedback. Your points are well taken.

I lease though business and the lease is fully deductible. The depreciation schedule on a buy is not nearly as favorable and goes down each year.

Buying is otherwise better financially, and I thought about buying a 2015, but $41k out the door is optimistic as could be reselling in 3 years for ~$33k and all the ones I have seen in that range are the first of the year models (not the 2015i) and I would not want one of the early ones in a new model year. The 2015i is risky enough in a new model.

The other reason I am considering lease is my difficulty committing. I don't know if I will like it that much or if I will have problems. Although, I am committed for 3 years where otherwise I could get out sooner if I bought used.

My other leading option is to wait until the 2016 come out and then buy a 2015i used, when there will be more around. I would just have to put tires on my current car.

I am not good with these types of decision.

 

[WBHMSU]

NP, and I'm not trying to talk you into something else. I just decided myself that I could stomach the payment for buying a used 2015 and not so much for a new one. I read up here and other places on the differences between the 2015i and 2015d and ultimately decided there was nothing in the updated vehicles that I couldn't live without. After a few days with the 2015d I am pretty happy I made that call.

I don't think getting a used 2015 for 42k is overly optimistic. I saw plenty listed in the $44/$45k range, and I'm talking about 4WD LTs with nav. These are all rental/fleet vehicles and usually very well taken care of.

Good luck with whatever you decide....it's a great vehicle!

When considering a lease, the mileage limitation is the most frequent bite-in-the-butt for people who are unaware of it. Leases are often sold based on payment amount, and low mileage allowances are the quickest way for the dealer to get a low payment for you.

 

[AZRiverRunner]

Since this is the first model year, I leased mine. If it turns out to be a good vehicle, I'll buy it at the end of the lease, if not, I'll get a new one.
.. and in the first 4,000 miles, so far, so good. I love it.

 

[12many]

Thanks for everyone's input.

I was ready to pull the trigger on the lease, but even though the sales guy had emailed me the numbers and I confirmed the numbers twice by email, he emailed me the morning of the deal saying he could close because he would lose money. I don't really believe them, but it is their SUV and I respect that they get to do with it as they wish. Wasted a lot of my time though.

Wonderful car. I felt like a King driving it during the test drive after 9 years in a Pathfinder. But, when the dealer pulled the deal, I felt like a kid with a new ice cream cone, only to have it taken away just before the first bite.

Back to the shopping process. At least it keeps me out of the bars I am looking for a light colored exterior with the cocca interior but those are harder to find than Jimmy Hoffa.

We just placed an order for a 2015 Tahoe LT 4wd that had an MSRP of $60,690 and we got an agreement to pay $54,600 OTD excluding registration, title, and taxes.

I leased mine 36/12,000 2015i Denali with premium and open road packages. employee lease at ~$770/mo. Good deal considering the MSRP was like $75,000.

Mortman, how much down, if you don't mind sharing?

I had owner loyalty...and a bunch of money from my GM card...and some rebate because of my GM card (brought me up to the nearest $1,000) so I'm not really sure about all the incentives but I paid out of pocket just first pmt, taxes and plates (about $900 or so). Putting money down on a lease is a fools bet...if you can't afford the payment with nothing down then you can't afford the payment.

New to the forum and glad to find it! I'm looking at a 2015 Z71 Tahoe and trading a 2008 Z71 Tahoe in very good condition with 92,000 miles. My out the door price so far is 38,800 including nav, sun & entertainment, and luxury package (sticker is 63,400 or so). Do you think I can do better? Am I stupid to trade my 2008? Thanks for your feedback!

To have any idea of what kind of deal you are getting you need the price they are selling you the 15 for and what they are giving for your trade.

Also - price before taxes as that is different everywhere. Otherwise, all of those numbers mean nothing.
