Hi Everyone, I have some questions about leasing a Saab 9-3 Linear. I have been looking at a couple of dealerships already and at the latest one, this sales person seemed to give me some interesting deal (or is it?). And here is what this sales guy quoted me: SAAB Linear 9-3 with a manual transmission and a moonroof in a metallic paint MSRP: 29295 Sales price: 26665 Rebates: 3500 RV: 39% MF: 0.0015 Term: 48 mo No down payment, no upfront money, just the first monthly payment Monthly payment = $345 Does this seem like a good deal? Compared to the one I got from other sales reps previously, this looks better. What do you experts think? Thanks a bunch for you opinions. JS |

Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 18, 2005 7:35 am) kyfdx, the mileage allowance is 12K mi a year. Is a 48-mo lease really too long? I just think that for me it's about right because changing my vehicle every 4 yr seems okay. Thanks for your opinion and welcome some more.

Has anyone had any success negotiating down the price of a 9-3 Linear or ARC beyond the stated employee discount price? There just appears to be more room in the final price to get a better deal. I'm seeing in other boards that GM dealers are getting up to 5% holdback to move cars and still make money. Yet the dealer tells me they're only making $200 on each sale (which I don't believe for a minute). Something interesting also...my particular dealership has more DEMOS on the lot then new cars. He tells me the demos are not priced any different then the new cars because the employee discounts cut so deep into the prices (again I don't believe him). Figure this out...a demo 9-3 with some miles on it (but less then 6k) at the same price as a new one with less then 10 miles on it. Come on! There has to be negotiating room there. Anyone familiar with this?

This is what I've been offered by the dealer. Can anyone tell me if this is good, bad or ugly based on your buying experience? What incentives and discounts are out there to be tacted on? I'm pre-approved at 4.95% for up to 60 months through my credit union as a straight purchase but it appears I can't get the incentives beyond employee discount without leasing. Am I missing something? 93 Linear: End price before TTL $21900 w/auto trans - no other upgrades Included discounts and rebates: Option 1 1) Employee Discount 2) $4500 lease incentive (48 month  6.9%) Option 2 - new price $23900 1) Employee discount 2) $2500 incentive (purchase) 93 ARC End price before TTL $26300 w/auto trans - no other upgrades Included Discounts and rebates Option 1 1) Employee discount 2) $3500 lease inccentive (48 months 6.9%) In each of the two car scenarios the dealer has slid in preparation and advertising costs equalling $500 total. I say get them out of there. The dealer also has demos on the lot that he says are going for the same price as new...there has to be wiggle room there. |
