Dear Car_man:
 
I have been reading these posts and you seem to be so incredibly knowledgeable about the Saab 9-3. I am ready to lease the standard 2.0 model with no frills. The True Market Value in my area (Miami, FL) is $25,015. I would like to lease it for 36-months, 12,000 miles per year and put no money, or very little money (ie.$1000) down. What kind of a lease payment should I be looking at? Saab is currently running ads for a 27-month lease, 12,000 miles per year and want $3000 down, which is ridiculous. Any help or advice you might be able to give me would be GREATLY appreciated! I don't completely understand the formulas for figuring out lease prices! Thanks a million!

Need Advice on First Lease by lasaab

Hi there Car_Man & Everyone:
 
Everyone here seems pretty knowledgeable about the 9-3 and I was wondering you could give me some advice on leasing this car since it will be my first car lease on my own.
 
I'm moving to Los Angeles in 3 days which is where I plan on leasing the vehicle, and I was wondering what the best deals are, what I should expect to pay per month, the financing rates, and residual values for a 24 month lease, with 12k miles per year.
 
I want to put down as little as possible up front and I also am not interested in the current 27 month lease promotion that they have on their website because when I worked out the numbers it didn't seem like a good deal.
 
I'm looking for the Saab 9-3 2.0T 4cyl turbo with automatic transmission- other than that I'm not looking for any other upgrades.
 
Also, when do the 2007 models come out-- will that make the prices on the 2006 models go down? Should I be getting a better deal since I plan on purchasing at the end of the month and during Memorial Day Weekend?
 
Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
-Ashley

Hello saabconvert. 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 work up a sample lease payment on the car that you are interested in for you if you let me know what these numbers are.

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.

Hi speedracergirl. The only cash incentive that is currently compatible with Saab's special lease program on the 2006 9-3 is the $500 owner loyalty cash that you mentioned. I would be happy to give you an idea of what this car's special lease program is like, however in order for me to do so I need you to tell me how long you want to lease it for and how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it.

Hello nautiker. Vehicles' residual values are set in stone and individual dealers do not have the authority to alter them. The only thing that will have an effect upon a vehicle's residual value is its mileage allowance. The fewer miles you are allowed to drive, the higher your vehicle's residual value will be. If you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan through Saab Financial Services Corp. right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be 3.94% and 54%, respectively. Vehicles' residuals are always based upon a percentage of their full MSRPs, including the destination charge and the MSRPs of any options that can be residualized. You obviously can shop around, but I doubt that you will be able to do better than the pricing that is available through General Motors' employee purchase program.
