It's a discount that I am a beneficiary of, Grandfather, and father are GM retirees. So I doubt mine would be that good. Not sure though.

And true that. The more deals/incentives/whatever I could find would be better. Definitely would be looking for the ever elusive private offer also.

There is always private offers, and GM Tag Bonus as of recently.

Note a great deal but here are the facts for my wife's 2016 2SS Vert, fully loaded.

No money down with $55,500 MSRP, 52% residual at $800 per month for 39 months at 10K miles per year.

I did get $3,500 off MSRP, with no trade-in, and from my calculations looks like 5% interest money factor for lease depreciated cost.

Dealer told me that coupes get better leases with higher residuals, but Verts are charged premium since they are newer.

5% interest and 52% is terrible hate to say it. Coupes are getting 59% RV for 39 and top tier credit 3.36% interest. And even those rates aren't that great.

That doesn't sound right. Looking at 24 month leases at 10k miles, RV is around 59% on a 2SS.

Here's where I've been looking lately:

Also I check here since it's usually updated often. RV can fluctuate a couple of % each month but there should not be 5% +/- either way. And no way in the world 59% for a 24 month. That's pure robbery. I see most 24mon leases for the Camaro in the 70% RV range.

Lots of reasons to lease besides saving money. So if you are happy that's all that matters. I'm just trying to provide the baseline for comparison.

My 1LT was at 71% for 24 months and 59% for 36 months.

Agreed. My 2013 Camaro 2SS 1LE has a 62% RV for 39 months 12k miles and top tier credit money factor was 2.6%, which I thought was just ok at the time.

My dealer tried to tell me yesterday that the residual for a 48/10 lease on a 2SS changed from 54% with 3.36% interest in Feb when I ordered my car, now he says that has changed to 49% with 3.94% interest....I walked out. Very frustrated.

[CamaroBody]

the lease quote when you build a car went up a number of weeks ago

[Baywire]

So I've come to the conclusion that the car I want is a Camaro6 SS and my options are:

Build and buy the 2SS I want. (If career path is willing next fall/winter)
or
Lease then buy the 2SS I want. (I can currently afford this)

I've been all over the Chevy website trying to create exactly what I want. (Because locally no one has the option combination I'm looking for) And it seems that 48/12k comes to low 5XX's. (Buying would be closer to 700)

Seems like people aren't putting money down on these leases (Or very little, less than the 10% which the Chevy website says you have to put down)

I guess I seem to be having an issue using these manual calculators and I have a couple questions maybe people who are more versed in car deals could help me with.

Optioned out my 2SS is coming to 47500, I don't mind doing the 48/12k I just feel it's a safe option. What should I be seeing for lease payments? 525 seems like a high ball quote from the Chevy website especially since their calculations force 10% down. (So in clarification of question, what should I ideally be looking at for a price)

And in reading this thread I'm curious if someone could clarify better why putting money down on a lease is worse than putting money down on a purchase loan? And is putting money down on a lease bad if I plan on purchasing the car after the lease?

Thanks in advance for the input!
