Car_Man: What specials does Saab currently have that could apply to leases? Do you know what dealer cash or special money factors are available on specific models? Also, can the GM Supplier discount be applied to these deals? I just want to do a final comparison before I decide on what car I want to lease.....with all of the specials I have been hearing about on Saab's, I thought it would be wise to take a look before dismissing them. Thanks, Ernest |

Replying to: jasonmstone (Mar 29, 2005 4:56 am) car_man can tell you the exact numbers, but Subaru has a published lease special for the GT: 36/36k for $339 with $2,500 cap cost reduction and no security deposit. I would bet that based on your reduced cap cost your payments would be less. I like the Subaru lineup - and I even have an older Legacy wagon for a snow day car. I just wish they had more upscale features (like NAV) available... Rule one of leasing is to get a good deal on the cap cost - sounds like you have that one  Dennis |

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 29, 2005 4:20 am) love330conv is leasing a 330Cic convertible, not a 330Ci.. I think the money factor is .0015, not .0008 Also, BMWFS bumps up the euro-delivery money factor by .0003 now, and then makes up for it by waiving one payment. regards, kyfdx

You can wait for the "new" to wear off these cars. Once sales slow and they start stacking up on dealer lots then you will be in a much better position to deal. The new M, new GS, and new RL all seem to be generating lots of interest and are selling well right now. I don't think there are are enough folks shopping for $45-50k cars for them to sell all they are making, so eventually deals can be had. Have you tried another Lexus dealer? I know they can be far apart but it may be worth a try. My local BMW dealer, for example, is owned by Sonic Automotive and their finance department has to make a profit on every sale or lease. So they would rather you walked away or got your own financing than give a customer the buy rate. It could be the same with your Lexus dealer - or it could be just greed. They have the car and you want it along with lots of other folks, so no reason to take anything off of MSRP AND they mark up the rate. BTW, I looked over at leascompare and they are doing 0.00215 MF on the GS300 - but 55% residual. You might run those numbers VS the inflated rate from the Lexus dealer and just do your own lease if it works out cheaper. That will teach the Lexus dealer Dennis |

| Everyone, including myself, is always asking what they should pay for a lease, but you hardly see anyone come back and post what they were able to negotiate. The "Prices Paid & Buying Experiences" section only covers buyers. How about some leasers coming back and letting us know what they were able to get? Then we can have some ballpark figures. | |
