I could be wrong here, but I think he did a quick calculator link, which may not be very accurate. that’s his correct (almost) discount before incentives. he added the incentives in post-sales incentives.
Can you show me which link you’re talking about? I only saw the one at the top of the post which shows effective cost at ~25% off.
That’s what I saw too, and “from what I understand” it’s almost correct looking at OP numbers.
The calculator is very close to exact. A few dollars here and there and I ended up including the delivery fee of $675 as a service fee - I wasn’t sure if I should include it at the start as not everyone will pay for delivery as I did. The $20k (~25%) discount was purely a dealer discount before any incentives. In the description I noted they wrote me a check for the $6750 in incentives or else the deal wouldn’t fund. In short, $20k dealer discount + $6750 in incentives is what I got in discounts - the MF was slightly marked up but I was fine with that.

Super noob question I’m sure, and I think it’s even answered further up the thread but I want to clarify.
Courtesy Caddys will not show the EV Tax incentive on dealer websites because it is baked into the RV (as the dealer collected the commercial vehicle credit when they made it a loaner I assume?)
But brand new Caddys do show the incentive, but functionally it’s still just baked into the RV?
They are showing the fed credit on new ones only if it’s for a purchase. If you go to lease it, there will not be a $7,500 line item rebate that’s actually passed along to you. It’s just the inflated RV regardless of new or courtesy transportation program vehicle

Perfect, thank you for the clarification!
I was able to get a 2024 Lyriq Sport 3 loaner for 7K 1 pay. Same dealer also had a Lyriq Sport 1 loaner deal which I passed. Both cars are gone now. I hope a fellow leasehackr got the Sport 1. For those in the CA Bay Area, Team Cadillac and Seaside Cadillac still have 2024 Lyriq loaner but both of them quoted me crazy numbers. Hope others have better luck with them.

Congrats on getting one! 7K still is really an amazing deal. Just out of curiosity, what were those other dealers quoting you? Did you come to them with a proposal or did they just give you a quote outright? Still hoping to snag one of these myself if there are any still out there
@conaanaa I asked them for a quote first and go from there. The initial quotes were always the “regular” price which is over 15K.

I’ve been trying to something remotely to this in the North East. This type of deal seems to be unobtainium…. Some dealers have had some cars sitting on their lot for 500 days and have nooooo interest in discounting MSRP even 10%.

@norhuhu This is my exact experience…except they won’t budge any further than that!
I’ve been calling around on a few Lyrics and the dealers are giving me a few different answers. Can you guys help me sort some of this out please:
Conquest - Not applicable unless its a GM brand and its in your name. Other EV manufacturers are not on the list (currently have a Lucid). There’s a Toyota in the household but not in my name.
Numbers are different - 2 dealerships are claiming that the MF and RV have changed since last week and I don’t have access to the new data. One dealer claimed that they lost the ability to do a onepay lease, which someone else mentioned up thread. Its FL so I’m sure they’re just bsing me, but I wanted to make sure.
Forgot to add - is the sport the only model with preferable numbers on this? I’ve seen a few luxury and tech models floating around as well.
Conquest = Competitive Cash Allowance - 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ
Valid to 9/30/2025
Must be a current owner of a 2011 model year or newer or a current lessee of a 2020 model year or newer Acura, Audi, BMW, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Jeep, Kia, Lexus, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Volvo, Porsche, Tesla, Genesis, Polestar, or Rivian for at least 30 days prior to the new vehicle sale. Not available with some other offers. Must take new retail delivery by 09/30/2025.
Share the MF and RV that you have been getting. A $4059 deal is pretty much impossible. The dealer would have to discount 25%+ before rebates and incentives.
Thanks for that breakdown. I must have read an older listing because it definitely didn’t list polestar or rivian.
When I get an actual serious offer I’ll run it up the chain but most people have been jerking my chain so far.
Surprisingly, there are still a lot of new 2024’s out there. Finding the loaners has been difficult.
does anyone know how they prove the congquest? do they request proof of ownership?
I’ve seen request for copy of contract for a lease

Many times they ask for a copy of the vehicle registration.

I just heard back from a dealer on a sport 3 demo - $17k on a one pay. I sent a delightful email in response.

Cherry on top - the internet manager just called me. Said he had the GM put the deal together and they’re, and I quote, “a for profit business.”
