Great SUV. However, there's no fucking way this thing will maintain 76% of its value in 2 years. MSRP is $80k. I bet it'll drop down to the 40's by the time I give this back in 2 years. |
Date: October 30th, 2025 11:09 PM Author: SneakersSO How does 0 down work with a lease, there are seemingly always these weird closing costs that have nothing to do with a down payment. Are you sure you didn’t pay $6995 towards TTL or something (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2#49389456) |

In terms of pricing, you are paying the difference between the MSRP and the "estimated" residual value at the end of the term. The manufacturers are literally guessing just how much the car is going to drop in value over the course of 24/36 months or whatever.
GM wants to moving these things quickly, especially with the EV Credit being taken away by Trump. So they artificially inflate the Residual Value so that you end up paying less money for the terms.
It's all made up. |

Date: October 30th, 2025 11:20 PM Author: SneakersSO Is it hard to get the idiot salesmen to not make you pay $4995 down and $299/mo? They’re obsessed with monthly payments. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2#49389467) |

Date: October 30th, 2025 11:22 PM Author: ...,....,,........ Just tell them "No".
They know that EV's do not hold their value well and so they are trying to get them off of their lots as quickly as possible.
They also know that you can always go to the other dealer in town and get a better offer, so they're willing to bend over backwards and even lube it up for you. |

Date: October 30th, 2025 11:34 PM Author: Patel Philippe I tried to lease a Corvette a few months ago and the guy wanted me to put $20k down. I was like no, $0. He was like fine, $15k (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2#49389484) |

Date: October 31st, 2025 12:22 AM Author: hank_scorpio definitely a better idea than buying that piece of shit but you are still blowing 20k to drive a gm ev for two years, idk man life is short you could do better (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2#49389514) |

Date: October 31st, 2025 12:38 AM Author: ...,....,,........ It's definitely $20k coming out of my pocket to rent a car for 2 years.
But it's not a piece of shit at all. It's actually a quality design that I've had my eye on for awhile.
Plus, after 2 years I'm sure I can find a good deal on a Vistiq that I can cop for good. |

Date: October 31st, 2025 1:24 AM Author: hank_scorpio you really can't think of another car that would only depreciate by 20k in two years? I just do not see the appeal of something you recognize the market already knows is sps and will not give you money for used under any circumstances (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2#49389564) |
