Hi I was quoted the following price: 2005 Saab 9-3 Arc/Parchment Silver metallic paint/Automatic/Sunroof: MSRP -> $33045. Net Cash Deal - 26K + 2K (for tax and title fees) ===> 28K There was hardly a negotiation. We test drove and the sales lady gave us this price. My wife and I wanted to do some comparison shopping before we buy it. What you think of this price? Also if we want to lease this car, how do I calculate the payment? Thanks

NY balloon loan 9-3 ARC Auto transmission Moonroof Heated seats Black (no metallic paint) 12k miles per year $402/month - 48 months no money down I THINK that's a pretty good deal.

Considering a 9-3 Linear, probably automatic. What purchase incentives exist for May? I seem to remember seeing $3500 customer cash someplace, but is there also $1000 Hot Button cash for a total of $4500? Whatever the incentives should I be able to get within a few hundred bucks of invoice minus incentives? Also, I qualify for a GM supplier discount, don't know what this really means but the sales person I spoke with said it will reduce the price of the car before any incentives, and it takes care of the doc fee. If I were to lease, are there any subvented lease deals with super low money factors? Thanks!

I'm not familiar with exactly what they are right now, but I always recommend leasing a Saab, instead of buying, because even with the big incentives, their re-sale value drops like a rock... regards, kyfdx |

kyfdx and others, thanks for a great board, here -- very helpful! Just got an 9-3 Arc offer of my own to ask advice on: Auto, driver, climate, moonroof for invoice of $34,604. Dealer incentives drive to lease selling price of $30,300 Two lease options: (a) 24 months $1500  initiation (first payment included) $406/month money factor of .00030 residual: 59% (b) 36 months $1500 initiation (first payment included) $390/month money factor of .00049 residual: 49% Car could be purchased for $29,800, by the way (better share of incentives available). First, are these decent numbers on a Saab lease? Either (a) or (b) stand out, strictly on the numbers? How do these stack up vs. purchasing at the $29.8? Thanks!

Replying to: buy_low (May 15, 2005 2:43 am) 2) Do the lease payments include sales tax? Even if they don't, they both look like good deals... great deals if they include tax. 3) Do you like to switch cars a lot, or are you looking to lock in a good lease price, once you find one? I kind of like that 24 month lease.. dirt cheap for that length of term... but, if you come out of the lease in just two years, you have to try to find another great deal, which is not so easy... So, in that case, maybe the 3 year lease would be the way to go... From a financial standpoint, no over-riding reason to go with either one.. they are both good... 4) For reference, the purchase payment on $29,800 at 4.9% for 60 months is $561/mo. (+ tax?)... Considering Saab's reputation for re-sale value, I'd definitely go with the lease.... regards, kyfdx

Replying to: mgz2400 (May 15, 2005 12:58 pm) So, as long as your upfront money doesn't include anything strange, like document fees or dealer prep... If it all goes to payment, security deposit, taxes, and title, registration, license... Then it looks like a good deal..
