Replying to: Car_man (Mar 22, 2006 6:02 am) Car_man, I am looking at a 2006 Saab 2.0L convertible lease, turning in a Saab 2002 convertible with 2 payments of $552 plus a disposition fee of $350 (total $1454). Apparently I just missed the "turn in waive deal", but here in West Palm Beach, FL they are offering: "27 month, 12K mile per year lease on the 9-3. Pament STILL at 579 plus tax. Convertible with Automatic and Premium. $2250 total out of pocket AND we will take care of your last two lease payments and disposition fee."   The internet sales guy then says "for anything better, he'll need the leverage of having me in the showroom"   How much more do you think they can wiggle?   DrIgor Replies to this message: saablcp (Mar 26, 2006 4:11 pm) Car_man (Apr 12, 2006 4:37 am)

Replying to: big_mike (Mar 23, 2006 6:59 pm) It's a fairly standard charge by the leasing source for processing fees.If you get a copy of any major city Sunday paper and check the lease ads in the auto section you'll see that every lease disclosure of charges includes an acquisition fee.Saabs at $595 is actually in the low range,BMW charges $895,Mercedes Benz $795.Fair or not...generally unavoidable.You can pay it as a part of your monthly payment rather than an upfront fee if you ask your dealer to put it into the capitalized cost of the car. Look at it this way... if you refinance your house with the bank ,agreeing to pay them ten's of thousands of dollars in interest over the next however many years ,why should they charge you "points"or" closing costs" to do the paperwork?Bank acquisition fee's are a variation on the same theme.

Replying to: drigor (Mar 25, 2006 8:27 am) You are being major league B.S.ed by the dealer!The "Pull Ahead" program ended March 15th.The only way to take a Saab customer out of their lease early now is to roll your two payments into your new lease.As for the disposition fee Saab AUTOMATICALLY waives the $350 disposition fee for any and all returning Saab lease customers...your dealer is not offering you anything you wouldn't get from any Saab dealer.On a 27 month lease those 2 payments of $552 are raising your new payment by App.$45 per month for the life of your lease.Here's the question you need to ask..if Saab is no longer Forgiving your last 2 payments...where'd they go?Who IS paying them?The answer is YOU ARE! I suggest you find a dealer in your area who is a little more straight forward in their business practices and doesn't try to make you think you are getting something for nothing...which you most assuredly are not!

Replying to: saablcp (Mar 26, 2006 4:16 pm) Ya, hopefully this will be on again in April and/or May for the sedans. When do the 2007's come out, I think I heard July? Any changes for the new model year.

#134 of 538 2006 Saab 9-3 Lease by 308gtsi Apr 03, 2006 (6:55 am)
FYI - Just signed on a 27 Mths lease (15K Miles/Yr.) for a 2006 9-3(Manual) with Moonroof and Heated Seats. MSRP $28,920. Monthly Pmt: $350 Money Upfront: $1,840 ($840 came from my trade-in)   Not bad in my opinion as Volkswagen was offering me a 24Mths lease on 2006 Jetta (Manual, no Options) for $352 with $1,000. (No leather, no climate control, no free maintenance). Big thing was the residual difference (69% for Saab VS 62% for VW).   Hope this helps someone.

Replying to: 308gtsi (Apr 03, 2006 6:55 am) Sounds good enjoy your new car. What did you get for a money factor/interest rate?
#136 of 538 Saab 9-3 Lease by 308gtsi Apr 05, 2006 (6:29 am)
The interest rate given was 4.9% or a money factor of .00204 (I think I did this right, 4.9% divided by 2400).
#137 of 538 Is this a good deal for a 9-3? by saabite Apr 06, 2006 (10:49 pm)
I'm very interested in leasing a 9-3, but I've never leased a car before - could I get some opinions on whether the dealer is giving me a good deal?   Lease term - 27 mo., 12K mi./year Automatic, metallic paint Moonroof No other packages MSRP = $29,720.   My dealer is offering the following: finance rate = 4.94 with RV of around 70%. This means: $3,500 drive-off and $319/mo., plus taxes.   Any comments? Thanks.
