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.

Hi eholton. You never mentioned the selling price of the car that you are interested in leasing. 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 work up a sample lease payment on the car that you are interested in for you if you let me know what its selling price is.

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.

Thanks alichar. In addition to its selling price, I also need you to provide me with this car's full MSRP (including destination) to calculate what its lease payment should be for you. On a somewhat related note, shoot for a price that is below TMV. Educated consumers who are in an area with a decent level of competition can almost always beat this number. It's not a bad idea to understand how lease payments are calculated before leasing a new vehicle. You may want to check out the following informative article that is available here at Edmunds.com: Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.

Hi Ashley. The best way to get an attractive lease on a new vehicle is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer that you are working with calculate its lease payment using its "buy rate" lease money factor. You may be able to get an idea of how much you should pay for this car right now by visiting the following discussion: "Saab 9-3 : Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Given the high level of competition amongst dealers in the Los angeles area, you should not have much trouble negotiating a price that is slightly over dealer invoice. Generally speaking, the prices of models gradually fall as the model year progresses. Given the fact that you already should be able to get the 9-3 for close to dealer invoice, I doubt its price will fall much further unless Saab introduced some additional cash incentives to help dealers unload their leftover models.

Saab 9-3 Dealer Cash, Help Please

I am new to this form and have a couple questions. I am planning the lease of a 2006 Saab 9-3 turbo. As of now I have 14 months left on a Saturn lease at 242.00 a month (smartbuy).
The dealer offered 8,750 for the car (the buyout is 10,500)for my Saturn. I also have a GM in the driveway discount of 1,000 dollars. Therefore the deal as of now for the Saab 9-3 stands at: 3,000 dollars down and 369.00 a month for 27 months, 12k/yr. This includes all fees/taxes and the release of my Saturn contract. The first question, is this a good deal?
The next and more important question is this 2,000 "hidden incentive" spoken about in the previous postings. Is this offered in NY state and how should I go about gaining this incentive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Current Money Factors and Residuals?

I'm looking into leasing a 2006 9-3 and was wondering what the current "buy rate" money factor and residual values are. The car I'm looking at is a 9-3 2.0T with an MSRP of $29,720 and a quoted sales price of $26,196. I'm looking for a lease somewhere in the 36 month range, and mileage of 10k-12k per year.
The sales price I was quoted seems pretty good ($1860 under invoice?) so I'm assuming this must already include the $2000 incentive from the manufacturer.
Also, does Saab typically charge security deposit and acquisition fee up front? If so, what do those charges typically run?
