When it comes to leasing vehicles, you have plenty of options available. While some prefer leasing new cars, others want to lease a certified pre-owned Cadillac vehicle at Scott Cadillac. Learn everything you need to know about leasing CPO Cadillac vehicles and how to get the process started with our finance team experts. 

Things to Know About Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac Cars
You might wonder what makes a certified pre-owned Cadillac vehicle different from an ordinary used car. The certified pre-owned program offers newer models with lower mileage and advanced tech and safety while promising improved longevity. Cadillac certifies these vehicles based on rigorous testing to ensure only the best-maintained cars pass muster.

How to Lease a Certified Pre-Owned Cadillac Vehicle
Securing a lease on a CPO vehicle is no different than leasing any other car. Our finance team can help you find a vehicle that fits your needs, with several qualifying cars on offer at any given time.

Why Lease a CPO Car?
There are several advantages to leasing a certified pre-owned Cadillac vehicle, including:

– Lower monthly payments. Because lease costs are based partly on the vehicle’s value, you can expect to pay less monthly on a CPO lease than leasing or buying a new car.
– Newer models. Leasing a certified pre-owned vehicle lets you access the latest models without buying them outright or leasing a new car.
– High maintenance standards. Only vehicles that pass the Cadillac brand’s standards enter the CPO program, so you know that any pre-owned car is as reliable as buying new.
– Warranties. Certified pre-owned vehicles are eligible for warranties, just like new cars.

The government and automotive industry have banded together to incentivize buyers to purchase electric vehicles. With EV tax credits available, drivers who visit Scott Cadillac are encouraged to browse electric Cadillac vehicles, including the 2024 Cadillac LYRIQ. There are new restrictions and regulations for these tax credits, however. So let’s discuss how these EV rebates work and which cars are eligible. 

What EV Tax Credits Are Available?
There are multiple EV tax credits available, from federal to state initiatives. The federal EV rebate program offers up to $7,500 for purchasing electric vehicles, assuming the car meets efficiency standards and the driver meets basic income requirements.

For Pennsylvania drivers, the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Rebate Program (AFVRP) grants drivers up to $3,000 on eligible vehicles for personal use. Income restrictions apply for this program as well. In addition, the Alternative Fuels Incentive Grant provides additional rebates to commercial EVs.

Regulations and Restrictions
To qualify for the AFVRP, a vehicle must meet state emissions regulations. The program is designed for fuel-efficient, clean cars like the Cadillac LYRIQ. New and pre-owned vehicles are eligible for this rebate, regardless of whether you purchase or lease the car. However, pre-owned vehicles must be no more than seven years old and have 75,000 or fewer miles.

Depending on the type of vehicle you drive, you’ll be eligible for up to $2,000 through the AFVRP if your total family income meets regulations. An additional $1,000 is available if you meet the stricter income brackets.

Usually, your vehicle’s warranty will cover any damages or repairs that need to be done. However, specific service tasks aren’t covered under warranties and must be paid out of pocket or via insurance. Scott Cadillac recommends monitoring these five Cadillac service items, as your warranty won’t cover them. 

#1: Pre-Existing Damage
If you buy a new or certified pre-owned vehicle, your warranty won’t cover any damage at purchase. The good news is that this is an exceptionally rare occurrence, given the quality of Cadillac vehicles.

#2: Damage Caused in Accidents
Your car insurance will pay for damages and owed fees associated with crashes and accidents. Your warranty doesn’t cover repairs for damage caused by collisions, scratches, and other mishaps, so we suggest keeping your collision coverage up-to-date.

#3: Damage from Weather and the Elements
You’ll need to protect your vehicle from the elements, which means keeping it safe from snow, rain, dust, etc. Any damage caused by weather usually isn’t covered by your warranty.

#4: Wear and Tear
Warranties are designed for essential components of your vehicle. Elements like the powertrain, drive shaft, engines, and corrosion control are covered under your terms. However, consumables like motor oil, brakes, tires, and other maintenance essentials must be paid out of pocket.

#5: Neglect
One reason we evangelize for routine maintenance is that it’s the best way to protect your warranty coverage. Skipped oil changes, missed transmission maintenance, or any other item that eventually causes damage to your vehicle will not be covered under warranty. A bit of money spent now could save you a lot later – and save your warranty in the process.

Even if your warranty doesn’t cover them, these Cadillac service tasks can still be done at Scott Cadillac. We can handle necessary repairs and help you find the best Cadillac parts and service offers available.

After a long and unpredictable winter, we’re all looking forward to spring. If you want to prepare your Cadillac vehicle for the upcoming spring season, Scott Cadillac has Cadillac service coupons to ensure your Cadillac vehicle is ready for the warmer months ahead. The following maintenance tasks will serve your vehicle well. 

Inspect the Cooling System
Aged or insufficient coolant contributes to overheating. A quick inspection and top-off is much cheaper than the catastrophically expensive damage caused by an overheated engine.

Inspect and Service the Air Conditioning
We’ve had a few days recently that were warm enough to call for a/c on the road. If you’ve noticed that airflow is low or that the air coming through the vents isn’t as cold as usual, have the air conditioning system serviced.

Inspect the Tires
If you switched to snow tires, switch them to all-season tires. If you’ve been riding on all-weather tires all this time, check their tire pressure and tread depth. This is also a great time for a tire rotation.

Check the Windshield Wipers and Fluid
Grime and salt take a toll on wipers, so change them soon. While you’re at it, make sure your wiper fluid reservoir is topped off.

Get an Oil Change
Oil changes are essential maintenance all year, but they may be especially important now. If you switched to a cold-weather oil formulation, it’s time to switch back to a summer weight to ensure peak engine performance.

Check the Battery
When was the last time your battery was cleaned, serviced, or changed? Take this opportunity to get it back in shape.

Wash Your Car
You don’t need a Cadillac service center to wash your car or SUV, but it’s no less important for that. Washing your car will help get salt and other various winter substances from causing rust and corrosion.

If you’re wondering whether you can negotiate your lease with our Cadillac finance department, the answer is yes. However, negotiating a lease is different from a loan in many respects. Understanding those differences is crucial to getting the process right.

Important Terms to Know About Your Lease
Negotiating your lease starts with an understanding of some basic terminology.

· Capitalized Cost: Also known as cap cost, it is the selling price of the vehicle you are leasing. This cost includes the car’s negotiated price plus additional costs financed through the lease.
· Capitalized Cost Reduction: Similar to a down payment that reduces the vehicle sales price.
· Lease Term: The months you lease the vehicle and will pay an agreed-upon monthly fee.
· Residual Value: The amount you will pay if you buy the car at the end of the lease, also known as a lease buyout.
· Depreciation: The reduction of the car’s value during the lease.
· Money Factor: The rate at which you are borrowing money. The lease money factor is equivalent to the annual percentage rate of a loan.
· Disposition Fee: A fee to cover the expense of cleaning and selling the car after you return it at the end of the lease.
· Excess Mileage Fee: Lease agreements specify the miles you’re allowed to drive annually. If you exceed this number of miles, you will be charged a fee when you return the vehicle.

What You Can Negotiate on Your Lease
Similar to buying a car, you can negotiate a lease too. There are different factors to negotiate when you decide to lease a vehicle, including the price, lease term, mileage limits, lease-end buyout, and even some fees.

However, remember that, unlike a loan, a car lease cannot be renegotiated, so getting your ducks in a row from the start is vital. So if you’re ready to lease a luxury vehicle, visit our Cadillac dealership in Allentown, PA, today, and one of our dealers will help you explore your options.

Two new Cadillac V-Series high-performance models are on their way to Scott Cadillac. The 2023 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and the 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing are legends in the making, combining the luxury you’d expect from the brand with horsepower and performance that are nothing short of awe-inspiring. If you’re unsure which model to lease or purchase, the following guide from Scott Cadillac will help you choose.

Engine
Besides their size differences, the most significant difference between these cars lies in their powertrains. The Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing has a twin-turbocharged 3.6-liter V-6 that sends 472 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels through a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic. The Cadillac CT4-V can reach 60mph from a dead stop in just 4 seconds.

The Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing packs a 668-horsepower wallop courtesy of a 6.2-liter V8 engine. Here also, rear-wheel drive and six-speed manual transmission are standard; this combination rockets to 60 mph in just 3.6 seconds; the available automatic transmission shaves a further two-tenths of a second off that time.

Exterior
The attractive exterior design of both vehicles disguises some clever performance enhancements. The drag coefficient is low thanks to a slippery silhouette, plus a mesh grille design that directs air to the radiator, cooler, and airflow ducts. The front splitter and rear spoiler combine to reduce lift and generate traction.

Both cars also offer carbon fiber exterior packages. Both contribute to these vehicles’ gorgeous appearance while keeping excess weight to a minimum.

One difference with the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing is a wheel design engineered for endurance. Made of a lightweight aluminum alloy, they reduce unsprung mass for increased performance and come in various designs and finishes.

If you still have questions regarding the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and Cadillac CT4-V Black-wing, we suggest calling — or, better still, visiting — our Cadillac dealership in Allentown. We have the answers you seek, and before long, we will also have these Cadillac models available for in-person comparisons and test drives.

If you are considering purchasing or leasing a luxury electric vehicle, one of your primary concerns is likely keeping the vehicle charged. While home charging options are available, they require foresight and planning, which is why Scott Cadillac has prepared this guide to prepare your home for your EV’s arrival.

Selecting a Charger
There are three levels of EV charging, with each successive level adding faster charging capacity to the one below it. An EV like the Cadillac Lyriq can technically use a 120V Level 1 charger, but this can be very slow. Conversely, the fastest type of charger — a Level 3 DC Fast Charger — is too powerful for home use and is only found at public charging stations.

That leaves many drivers seeking a happy medium: a Level 2 charger. These use 240 volts — the same voltage as a clothes dryer — and can be installed at home. They are also the most common type of public charging station.

Hire an Installer
Once you decide to install an EV charger at home, it’s time to find a qualified installer. Your Allentown Cadillac dealer will assist with this, referring you to a qualified and trustworthy installer who will assess your home to determine whether it can support a charger.

Assessing your Power Panel
The breaker in your home is a potential stumbling block to installing a charger. If you live in an attached home, a condo, a rental, or an older house, there may be issues with the box’s accessibility or capacity that prevent you from installing a charger. While a new panel can be installed, this can be very expensive, and some EV owners decide it’s not worth the added expense.

Preparing the Site
Once the installer green-lights the installation, we suggest doing a bit of preparation to ensure you can charge up safely. Keep the area — garage or driveway — clear of debris and clutter so the installer can get to work, and you can charge safely once they’re done.
