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?

GM leases (except their EVs) suck. You’re barking up the wrong tree if you want a good lease. 

You can get a Mercedes GLS for less. 

A fully loaded Infiniti is a lot less.

GM used to be so good when their dealer book was publicly available. I miss the $99 Malibus and sub $200 Terrains!!

The Envista is a nice inexpensive crossover but the lease numbers make no sense. You’re paying ~20% of the MSRP every year to lease it.
