We just got this last week. Drives real nice and crazy fast.
Took reaching out to a dozen dealers and needed to locate one with a bench seat (uncommon) and had to be a loaner. The car had about 1,100 miles on it and needed a trunk adjustment because it was crooked. Includes rubber floor mats too and 1 free tire rotation/balance, vin etching some other stuff we couldn’t remove as it was already installed on the car.
MSRP: 80k
Incentives:
-$1250 Costco Executive
-$500 GM Rewards Card Sign Up & Spend (not sure we actually got this…)
This one-pay seems decent given the mileage allowance over 2 years is 30k. Likely the residual takes a hefty beating because of the additional clicks over what seems to be a sweet spot of 24/10k for Cadillac leases.
Prices will likely go down even further as dealerships push to move the loaners off the lot and of course the uncertainty of the EV market when the credits expire.
Great time to put in some legwork to get possibly great LH scores on Cadillac EVs.
The Vistiq is a beaut of an SUV in my opinion, and yes there are some misses given the MSRP, but once you take a ride and adapt to what it gives you, it’s a lot of vehicle for the discounted loaner lease price.
Depends on what the total upfront costs will be. When you go to sign there will also be dealer insurance add-ons to cover wear and tear, dings and dents, etc. that could drive the final monthly lease price up by a few hundred.
Figure out what you want and are willing to pay for that extra coverage, if any and then reassess the overall total cost of lease.
I think most get wear and tear just so they don’t t have to care about the nickel and dime stuff they usually try to find at lease end around the body, rims and tires. So long as total assessed repairs is under $5k, i believe.
Because it’s a lease and not a purchase, and it’s ill-advised presently to buy out any EV lease, the total amount of lease payments over term and mileage calculated to an LH score would probably be your best gauge of negotiating success.
I could be mistaken, but if you can get an LH score of 8 on the Vistiq on 1st offer, i think that’s probably a decent starting point.
