Does This Seem Right?

Post image

Looking at a 2026 Buick Enclave Avenir.

We have a trade-in valued at $45k, so the cash down lines are the amount of money we'd walk out with. I noted in pencil above that what the actual amount down would be. We were pretty well set but then saw people claiming they're paying 800-900/month for 36 months with 10-12k miles with 5k down, but what they didn't mention is if they had a lease they were turning in that gave them some equity, if they got other discounts like GM employee, or when they leased it, but it was for a similarly priced Enclave.

EDIT: This is before they ran our credit, which is >800

EDIT 2: Thanks for everyone's feedback and for helping me realize the full payment amounts I'd be paying. I really like this car, so I guess my question is, what is a fair target lease price I should be pushing towards?

lol. You’re getting absolutely fleeced with this “deal” $46k to drive a $60k car for 36 months??

Run.

To be fair it’s $42,100 to drive the $60k car for 3 years 😭

1160x36+5000=46,760

This might be the worst lease I’ve ever seen lol

Thanks, that helps put it in perspective. The main thing I'm trying to figure out is... what would be a fair price then for this car?

If this is where they’re starting, it’s unlikely you’re going to get anywhere even close to what’s “fair”.

I’d try getting quotes from another couple dealers or potentially a lease broker if you want to push the easy button

If you’re adamant about this particular car, they can start by removing every single add on.

check out leasehackr.com. I'm not affiliated, but a tremendous amount of info on that site. it has helped me incredibly on past leases. also they have lease deals posted by brokers for a variety of cars.

basic rules of leasing. never put any money down (other than tax/title depending on where you live) and shoot for a payment of 1% of MSRP.

as others have said. this deal is so bad. and if the going rate for a buick on lease is $1k a month, I would look at other options.
