Sunroof $995
Tech package (better speakers and bigger screen) $900
Black wheels $800
Red calipers $395
Decklid spoiler $150
Dealer installed options (more on this below)
Body-color rear blade spoiler $695
Body-side spear stripes, Red Hot $555
Spider stripes, Red Hot $450
A couple other added possible bonuses: The original dealer did not install the spoiler or hood or side stripes. The stripes are new in box and the spoiler was either forgotten to give me and they will ship it to me or they sold it and will give me the $695 back. So I will try to sell those items and cover 1-2 lease payments! I seriously doubt the turn in inspector is going to know these items are missing and really add no real value to the car anyway.
I could not get the calculator to work out perfectly due to VA tax calculation and the fact that this car has dealer added Katzskin black leather that cannot be added to MSRP for residual value calculation purposes. This car was brought in from another dealer that had already added it. They charged me $1,159 for it, which is not too bad, except for it effectively reduced the dealer discount from $826.85 to ($332.15) since it is not a GM accessory and cannot be added to the MSRP. Without the leather, payment would have been $345.73. I plan to keep it for 6 months and then probably put it out for takeover. Maybe the leather will make it a nice perk for someone!
Inventory is pretty scarce and I wanted to get this done before April since programs could have changed. I know it is not the best deal, but not too bad considering VA tax itself adds $40.66 per month to the payment.
Also, this car get excellent gas mileage when cruising due to the 4 cylinder mode:
That and I don’t care for the seats at all IMO. I was assuming katzkin covers before even reading the post. The seats seem way too puffy; the factory seats appear slimmer and more athletics looking (and sans the obvious wrinkles).
