Professional Grade Leasehacking: GMC Terrain For $167/Month, $0 Down (Expired)

How is this deal possible?

Through April 2, 2018, all GMC Terrain models leased through GM Financial get a $2,650 incentive. Select regions, including Southern California, receive an additional $750 incentive ("GM Select Market Incremental CCR").

For a limited time, GMC (and 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 $6,400 in cash incentives, which significantly lowers the cost of the lease.

How do I get this deal?

This deal assumes a reasonable dealer discount of $2,050, or 7% off MSRP, on an entry-level $29,210 GMC Terrain SLE. 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 Terrain SLE FWD 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 residual value also varies based on trim and whether all-wheel drive (AWD) is selected.

The money factor (MF) currently offered by GM Financial for GMC Terrain on 24-month leases is .00135, equivalent to 3.24% 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 .00135 requires excellent credit.

About GMC Terrain

Terrain is a compact SUV with dimensions similar to Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4. The MSRP of Terrain is quite a bit higher than those vehicles, but with all these incentives, you can actually end up paying less. With its unique looks, spacious interior, and solid driving dynamics, Terrain is worth a look if you're shopping in this category.
