'25 Cadillac Lyriq Lux 2 Loaner Lease Help

Hey y’all, I’m targeting this EV as my current lease is over soon and have been seeing great deals on here combined with incentives I qualify for.

I’ve been making offers (15% off MSRP) based on market comps. (SIGNED!, broker offers, other buyer leads, etc.) with an intent to take delivery that day, but no dice. This offer accounts for units with RV adjustments due to mileage and potential MF markups (none have marked that up).

Could I approach this differently? Honestly trying to streamline the buying process and make the selling easy. Everyone’s entertaining the deal because they want the potential business, but no one’s getting close (9-10% off). Is the path forward just to pit dealers and their discounts against each other?

I don’t think my offer is egregious as all these units are the previous MY with a range of miles, and it’s being offered to me as if they’re new. I can also understand if they just don’t want to sell it to me at that price if they’re banking on selling it for more later.

My lease isn’t up until June so I have the month of May to get something done but if the deal was right it doesn’t matter to me when I sign.

Thx for any insight/help guys

Great question. I’m following this. My guess is you may need to contact more dealerships to find a motivated one. 15% off would be my baseline. Keep trying until June. If no luck, hire a broker.

The strategy is solid however as @MaxMSD mentioned, cast a wider net, contact more dealers would be the starting point. It’s expected to be told no far more than getting to a yes.,

Also with the increase in fuel prices, I wouldn’t doubt if they were fielding 10 calls a week about a vehicle 2 months ago, they very well may be fielding 15 calls a week on that same EV now, which to your point, they may perceive that as a reason to find someone that’ll take it at 10% off.

A Caddy Lux2 loaner…of what model?

Lyriq, thanks for catching that. Updated the title.

& thanks to the previous comments!

Ok and what rebates do you qualify for? I see $2k conquest or $2k loyalty. Are you assuming the use of either? What about supplier etc?

I put around in about 5 offers in AZ and a couple out of state with the same discount 15%-14% on various 2025 Lux/Sport 1s loaners and I pretty much got ghosted or dealers saying no.
8-10% seems to be the most they would budge at this point.

I do agree with @ApexHunt, with the increase of gas prices, it has brought enough business that they aren’t ‘as’ desperate. I’m curious to see if incentives/residuals get scaled back due to the demand, or if they lean into it and increase to encourage buyers. My gut says the former.

$2k conquest, $500 Private Offer, $500 GM Card SUB, $1.25k market cash.

I’ve tried showing a greater sense of commitment like offering to do a one-pay, e-signing, putting down a deposit, etc. but yeah still no luck.

Ok so the 15% is pure dealer contribution before the rebates or that’s your combined target?

10

$1.25k market cash which promotion is this? could you explain?

thank you!

Correct the 15% discount is pre-incentive.

@son3126801 the market cash is provided by the manufacturer (I believe) to the dealer. The amount received will depend on your location.

interesting, good to know the new information, do you mind if you could share where can i check that information? im in Socal , should i simply ask to the dealer?

thanks for your help in advance

I’d suggest signing up for Ratefindr/Signed, all of that info and signed deals can be found there.

OP I think 15% is going to be a stretch you’ll have to really grind for. Most deals are clearing for 10%.
