When i send an offer like this, i tell them i can be there within the hour.
You want your offer to be immediately actionable. Say yes and i am on my way. No wasting time while i cross shop your offer, etc. Say yes, close now.

You’re right. I was being honest here since I’m fairly busy the week.
You can’t stack educator and supplier. That is what i was told.
Yes. I’m simply listing everything I qualify for. May not happen but when I’m there to sign, and they tell me they can’t add it. Maybe they’ll take it off as a discount. Just a shot.
You’re basically presenting yourself as unknowledgable and invalidating your offer right off the bat.
Making an offer that isn’t valid because you’re combining incentives that can’t be combined does nothing to help your case.

I’ve seen some loaners but some don’t list the Ultium Promise $7500 cash. Are there loaners that don’t qualify? Here’s the incentives I hope to stack
$5000 loaner discount
$7500 Ultium Promise or EV tax credit
$5000 23 DE pre order discount (I’m still on the manifest)
$3000 conquest
$1000 Costco
Maybe $2500 retired loner discount?
Ultium Promise is only available with a purchase- it’s meant as a substitute for the consumer tax credit b/c these units don’t meet the sourcing requirements necessary for the tax credit.
On a lease, there aren’t any requirements currently so it gets an inflated residual just like the tax credit cars.
As far as i understand the loaner discount is only 2500, where are you getting 5000?
It’s a discount for every single “Courtesy vehicle” I’ve seen on multiple dealer sites. If the MSRP is already discounted by $5K or more - that’s probably it.
Incentives and discounts are different things
Regardless this $5K off has been around since the summer on various Lyriqs. I had some health issues that limited my driving for a few months so I didn’t look but now I see at 10+ courtesy vehicles (Lyriqs) with $5K discount which I think comes from Cadillac. The mileage must be between 2K-6K (something like that) according to the program details I’ve seen.
Can you show any examples? I haven’t seen any with straight 5k
“Cadillac CTA vehicles have been driven by customers as service loaners and have between 2,000-7,000 accrued miles. They have been maintained by our service team and are offered with the remainder of their factory warranty, available rebates, and special CTA discounts.”
I suspect what theyre doing there is combining $2500 dealer discount and $2500 loaner incentive, which makes for a very poor deal.

Agree with mllcb42, they’re likely just combining the two 2500 discounts/incentives.
BTW make sure you calculate residual impact for mileage on the loaners. It’s basically a impact of $200 per 1k mile (.20c/mile)

The other dealers show a larger discount but no $7500 Ultium Promise nor the EV tax credit.
“Courtesy Loaner Vehicle. Sport 2 Collection with Panoramic Sunroof and Floor liners.”
This does not exist on a lease, regardless of if the dealer lists it
Honestly you need to go ask them. Every dealer list them differently. My experience has been if you seen ‘dealer discount’ above 3k then the 2.5k loaner bonus is likely already inlcuded. Any 5 digit discount must have counted the 7.5k
7k5 is ev credit is usually included in the high RV for lease so it’s irrelevant.
No point in asking a dealer how much they want you to pay.
This is all resolved by putting togetheg a well-researched target deal and then making an offer to the dealer.
