Lease A Buick Encore SUV: $135/Month, S0 Down + Fees (Expired)

How is this deal possible?

Through April 2, 2018, all Encores leased through GM Financial get a $2,000 incentive. Select regions, including Southern California, receive an additional $750 incentive ("GM Select Market Incremental CCR").

For a limited time, Buick is also offering a $3,000 conquest incentive for current owners or lessees of 1999 or newer non-GM vehicles. In sum, lessees can qualify for up to $5,750 in cash incentives, which significantly lowers the cost of the lease.

How do I get this deal?

This deal assumes a decent dealer discount of $1,900, or 7% off MSRP, on a $25,395 Encore Preferred. Your exact selling price will depend on factors like location and inventory. We recommend contacting a few dealers in your area and asking for their best price.

GM Financial offers leases with 24- to 48-month terms. This deal assumes a 24-month lease, which is actually most favorable in this situation. GM Financial has set the 24-month residual value for Encore at 64% of MSRP, assuming 10,000 miles per year. The residual value drops to 63% for a lease with 12,000 miles per year (or 62% at 15,000 miles per year).

The money factor (MF) currently offered by GM Financial for Buick Encore on 24-month leases is .00131, equivalent to 3.14% APR. The lease will be more expensive if the dealer marks up the MF. We do not recommend leasing a car with a marked up MF, unless the vehicle is further discounted by a commensurate amount. Note that the posted MF of .00131 requires excellent credit.

About Buick Encore

Encore is a subcompact SUV similar in size to Chevrolet Trax, Ford EcoSport, Honda HR-V, and Toyota CH-R. As a Buick, the vehicle has premium aspirations, and GM would like it very much if you cross-shopped it with an Audi Q3 and Mercedes-Benz GLA.

Encore is a perfectly sensible vehicle with a high-driving position that will get you from A-to-B without much fuss. It can also be one of the cheapest cars you can lease right now.

Get started! Current program is valid through April 2, 2018.
