Tony I was wondering if you knew what a lease might go for? I know its early but I was just curious. Currently I drive an 04 545i and live in Bradenton, I owe 18 on the car,

I would also entertain buying one but if the sticker gets up to 70k that would be out of my price range.

Thanks

Leases are such a gray area right now with everything going on in that market- GM, Ford and Toyota are all doing massive restructuring in their Leases after posting huge losses due to resale values, so I honestly have no idea what the situation will be 60 days from now. I can tell you that Dealer retention on an 08 CTS lease just jumped from 6.1% to 8.1%, and I imagine it's going to stay that way. Once they announce MSRP I'll have a better idea, but for now it would be pure guesswork.

Either way, I'd love to help you get into a car. Keep an eye on the forums for the MSRP announcement, and let me know if there's anything I can do.

Tony. CTS-V coupe orders? GM says they will be coming out at the same time.

I have one on order here in the UK where gas is $9 a gallon and the car will cost $90,000.

Theres no price for passion!

Thanks Tony. Can you put me first on the list when you do?

[Cadillac Tony]

I guess once you've had a Murcielago, the 911 doesn't seem quite as amazing.

[urbanski]

how much is that trade in 997S going for eh?

[Cadillac Tony]

Haha.....won't know until his V comes in. No guaranteed trade-in value was agreed on, since it's impossible to look 90 days into the future of book values.

Must be nice to buy a car and not even care what they're giving for your trade, eh?

I think we would all agree that the Corvette is an amazing sports car and that there are some serious gearheads who own 'Vettes, so why do they offer an automatic 'Vette? Volume. It's simple business sense to make your product appealing to as many people as possible.



Let me preface this answer by saying that this is TOTAL GUESSWORK on my part- GM has told me nothing about pricing, but I have come to this conclusion based on experience, logic and reading between the lines of what I was told at NAIAS.

I suspect a base MSRP of roughly $59,000, with several available options.

-Premium paint $995
-Polished Wheels $1,000
-Automatic $1,400
-Sunroof $1,000
-Performance package (Recaros, microfiber wheel, PTM and tuned shocks) $5,000

That pricing structure would make sense to me, and would put a fully loaded one in the $68-$69k range.

Please don't run and post this on 800 different forums, because this is not official, or even a rumor. It's my educated guess, and I could be totally wrong.

Tony, if you are correct, then I will give my local dealer a shot first, in the first quarter of '09 maybe a tad latter.....


What exterior colors are they going to have? Sounds silly, but I am tired of silver, white, and black....
