UPDATE: I finally had a chance to talk to the F&I guy and the Sales Manager at my dealership.
The F&I guy was unaware of the lease IRA tax credit return to the customer, but did research it and DID find a bulletin from GM Financial stating they are doing the rebate.
I will cut him some slack as he recently moved from being a salesman into F&I, but it does indicate that the dealership has some serious training issues to address.
In any case, it does mean that I will not have to leave $7,500 on the table because of my need to lease rather than purchase.
I was a good thing that I went in to the dealership because when the Sales Manager at my request checked the list for Cadillac’s private offer of $5,000 to those who ordered the Lyriq between May and November of 2022 and converted their offer to a 2024 model, my name was on HER dealership list but not on GM’s list. She is checking with the area rep to straighten that out.
I suggest that anyone in the same position confirm with the dealer that you are on both lists. Much better to have time to straighten things out ahead of time than at the time of purchase.
