@Masterblaster Gotta make sure the Preferred II also has the same RV and MF as the Preferred trim for your calculations to work.
That’s a good point. I had assumed that RV’s and MF’s were the same on different trim levels. If those values are less favorable then my simple math simply won’t work and you’ll have to pay more.
I suspect though that Simpson will work with you to get you a great price on whatever you pick.
Just checked Edmunds and all trims have the same MF/RV. 
24/10k - .00118 MF and 65% residual for all trims
$1075 lease cash
Do you guys know if any of the NorCal dealership who is willing to match $119/month deal from Simpson’s?
I just talked to the internet sales on the phone he will get back to me… waiting game…
are you looking for the deal in NorCal or SoCal ?
Finally had a dealer willing to play ball on the Encore. (3 dealers didn’t even have the courtesy to contact me back). They ran numbers for a few hours, and finally, this was the response I got.-
“We have been running more than a few different lease numbers and can’t figure out how those dealers are arriving at the numbers they are. Unfortunately we are out of Buick IVC coupons for this month. Thank you for your patience, but I don’t believe we will be able to hit close to your desired payment!”
I have checked with 4. The Dealer mgr who originally offered Encore $113 has not responded, another commented they have not seen any new pricing from GM, Large dealer in SJ has not responded after repeatedly asking me to come in for best pricing (currently have sons Encore leased with them), and Fremont indicated “looks like a good price”.
Fremont dealer say No… how many dealership left in Bay Area…?
Dublin has a large dealership but I have never seen them give good deal.
Happy to report.

wow really nice!! i want 15k for 132.13 too!!! i guess the dealer says not to share their name?
Good Job ! - Enjoy the car
Guys… for NorCal, seems like Dublin Buick can do it. They are finalizing the number for me. Will update this when I get the number.
EDIT: Dublin says NO… guess these number only possible in SoCal 
which dealer? …
Interesting, their ad is not that far off the Simpson pricing:
*2017 BUICK ENCORE 1SB LEASE FOR $ 788 Down’$0 Security Deposit’$ 88 First Month’s Payment $88 +tax per Month for 24 Months AT THIS PRICE. VIN# HB201596/HB201596/HB227644/HB230430 STK# 20337/20352/20394/20401 On approval of credit. 24 Month lease. No security deposit required. Tax, title, license and dealer fees extra. Mileage charge of $.25 miles over the Mileage limit, 10,000 miles per year. Monthly payment Includes
A lot of hidden fee… so the down still need to add around $1000 of drive off…
I did the deal last night at Simpson Buick. It took two hours including the test drive. Most of the time was waiting for them to get the car from a nearby lot and the paperwork. It was a straightforward deal.

What’s the name of the person you dealt with?
My initial contact was Ali Ahmed, the sales manager. He handed me off to Martin Ochoa, a salesperson.
