Just wanted to share a successful hack on a 2025 Cadillac Lyriq Lux 1 in White. I managed to negotiate a substantial dealer discount on a unit that was located about 100 miles away. After some back-and-forth, the dealer not only met my target price but also included free delivery to my driveway.In addition to the immediate savings, I am accounting for the post-purchase utility rebate and the end-of-lease disposition fee to get the true “effective” monthly cost
The Numbers:
MSRP: $65,415
Dealer Discount: $7,800 (~11.9% off MSRP)
Rebates: $4,750 (Qualified for Conquest + Costco/Supplier)
Total One-Pay:$7,921.97
Term: 24 months / 10,000 miles per year
Residual: 78% (for Lux 1 AWD)
Tax Rate: 9.375%
Add Disposition Fee: +$595.00
Subtract PG&E Rebate: –$1,000.00
True Total Cost (24 Months):$7,516.97
Final Effective Monthly Cost:~$313/month
The Process: I started by targeting a ~12% pre-incentive discount, which is aggressive for 2025 models but doable if you find the right dealer. I leveraged the fact that I was ready to do a One-Pay lease, which typically helps lower the money factor compared to a standard monthly lease.
I shared my target worksheet with a few dealers in the NorCal region. This specific dealer was a bit further out, but they were the most transparent and willing to move the unit. They handled the paperwork digitally and had a driver bring the car to me at no extra cost.
Excellent deal, hope you enjoy the Lyriq! This month seems solid given the rebates but unfortunately in Texas, the full tax on the listed price makes it difficult to break a deal without GMF Credits or other alternatives.
A lyriq that low is really good! With the depreciation on these things, it’s a good way to try it out before buying. I’ve come to love GM’s EV lineup, especially the extra regen with the paddle on the wheel. Great choice.
I leased a Vistiq that was a former courtesy car. 1,300 miles on the odometer. The paperwork said used. Best to check with the dealer to make sure the paperwork says what you want.
I just applied for my $1,000 rebate from SCE for my 2025 Blazer EV LT1 one pay lease. I also paid $7995 for 24 months , 30K miles. Signed on 12/20/2025.
Best car I’ve ever driven in my life. Super smooth, wonder response to gas pedal. Just love it (I’ve driven almost any car and recently sold our BMW, easily the worse car ever produced worldwide, idiotic brand). This is my first ever US brand vehicle. Coming from Acura, BMW 5 series, Hyundai Palisade right before this. Also currently own a Kia EV6. Blazer EV is BEST car ever.
