#138 of 534 April Saab 9-3 Aero Lease #s by sofakingcool Apr 09, 2006 (12:54 pm)
Carman, I am looking for the MF and residual for the Saab 9-3 2.0t and the 9-3 Aero for a 27 mnth, 15000 mi/yr lease and a 36 mnth, 15000 mi/yr lease. Any lease incentives for dealers in the Los Angeles area? Thanks in advance. -Sofaking Replies to this message: Car_man (Apr 12, 2006 4:43 am)

Replying to: saabite (Apr 06, 2006 10:49 pm) I got 4.4% financing on my lease so seems like you could do better there. My drive off on a the same car in manual was 1,200. The price seems way high, too. I'm not an authority, but I'd say talk to some other dealers. And tell them you only want to put down 1 thousand bucks. Why would you want to put down so much? Did you look and see what the TMV is on Edmunds? You mention MSRP but what is your sale price that the lease is based on? Edmunds has it 28,938 for my area.

Replying to: big_mike (Apr 09, 2006 7:00 pm) thanks for the tips, big_mike. the tmv on edmunds is also 28,938 for my area (southern california). so you think it's ok to offer to put down only $1K, with payments of around $320 plus tax a month?

Replying to: saabite (Apr 10, 2006 6:00 pm) I would offer that and see if they go for it. I got away with putting down 1,200 on a similiar vehicle. Of course, that'll change your payments but why give them more up front if you don't have to.

Replying to: big_mike (Mar 23, 2006 6:59 pm) Hi Big Mike. All banks that lease vehicles to consumers charge an acquisition fee. Saab Financial Services Corp.'s current base lease acquisition fee is $595. It charges this fee on every vehicle that it leases and individual dealers do not have the authority to waive it.

Replying to: drigor (Mar 25, 2006 8:27 am) Hi DrIgor. If you haven't leased yet, you're in luck. General Motors reintroduced its early lease termination program this month. Current GMAC and Saab Financial Services Corp. lessees are currently allowed to get out of their leases up to four months early if they purchase or lease a new GM or Saab product. This program will save you some money if you want to get out of your current car before the scheduled end of your lease. As far as this specific lease goes, you never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this car's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: saabite (Apr 06, 2006 10:49 pm) Welcome saabite. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. As far as the specific lease that you mentioned goes, you never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in. This is an important number for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what the selling price is.

#145 of 534 Re: April Saab 9-3 Aero Lease #s [sofakingcool] by Car_man HOST Apr 12, 2006 (4:43 am)
Replying to: sofakingcool (Apr 09, 2006 12:54 pm) Hi Sofaking. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Sedan through Saab Financial Services Corp. right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.94% and 58%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2006 9-3 Aero Sedan should be 3.94% and 54%. I have not seen Saab's 27 month lease program for either of these cars. As you can see, SFSC recently switched from using money factors to using lease rates. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. Saab is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of either of these cars. Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#146 of 534 2006 Saab Convert 9-3 by saabconvert Apr 12, 2006 (8:39 am)
Any help would be appreciated: I want to lease a Saab Convert w/ Premium package. What (including rate factor) should I be paying a month for the 27 month deal with $1000 down....These leases confuse me.....Thank to anyone who can help. My first dealer offered $534 on a non-premium packaged car...I think that is high. Replies to this message: Car_man (Jun 01, 2006 3:13 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Apr 12, 2006 4:40 am) Thanks for the links, car_man. I skimmed them just now and will go over them more carefully this weekend. I just asked my dealer what the selling price is, and he told me that it's $29,700. Any thoughts? Seems like he's not cutting me any slack. Again, anything would be very much appreciated.
