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 by apm4

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? by arlvahoo

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?

Do all dealers include the $2000 rebate?? Or do you have to ask for it. I'm looking at a Saab today and the ad states 309month with 1309 down. Is the rebate of 400 still good for college grads?

I'll answer my own question from a few posts up, since it might help others as well.
 
I signed a lease deal on a new 2006 9-3 this weekend. Saab's current offers on the 27 month lease make it an attractive option. Payments actually ended up being less on a 27 mo. lease than on a 36 mo. lease.
 
For a 27 month, 12,000 mile/year lease, residual value is 70%, and interest rate is 3.94% (MF=.00164). If you want to waive the security deposit, you'll have to add half a point to that rate (4.44% or MF=.00185)
 
For a 36 mo/12k lease, the residual was 60%. Interest rate stays the same.
 
In addition to the security deposit, Saab requires an acquisition fee of $670.
 
When you throw in the $2000 incentive, it ends up being a very good deal. I had a few dealers tell me the $2000 was for purchase only and not for a lease, but the place I ended up leasing from included the 2k discount in the deal.
