Re: 2006 Saab Aero Convertible - Lease by Car_man HOST

Here's the info that you're looking for, mikec12. If you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible through Saab Financial Services Corp. in November for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00264 and 72%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 30 month lease should be .00264 and 66%. the numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be .00264 and 61%. When negotiating your lease on this car, keep in mind that Saab is currently providing $500 bonus cash on it. This money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.

Hi tlabrie. If you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan through Saab Financial Service Corp.'s new November lease program for 24 months with 15,000 miles per, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00164 and 67%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease of this car should be .00164 and 54%. As I mentioned in the previous post, when negotiating your lease on this car, keep in mind that Saab is currently providing $500 bonus cash on it. This money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.

Saab Combi Lease Specifics by steamboat72

Hi CarMan- I am interested in a '06 2.0 Sport Combi. I specified a : Manual , moonroof, premium sound, roof rack with metallic paint and was quoted $28,970 plus "fees".
I am trying to determine lease or buy.I noted your point about losing out on a high lease downpayment if there is a serious accident, however, I can put $2500-$3000 down and thus have a much more manageable monthly lease payment. If I like the car, I would definitely consider purchasing it at lease end. This is my current line of thinking, however I am game for and appreciate any advice!
Questions: Do you know the buyrate lease money factor and the RV for this car?
Any advice as to lease vs buy?
The parameters I am looking for are 36 mo/12,000 or 15,000 miles annually.
Any other advice is also much appreciated.
Thanks

You obviously sell saabs,as in poker you dont see my hand.Less they sit on the lot or a deal is made at a fair price. The only number that matters is what i pay in the end. Open your eyes read the paper hows g.m. or ford doing these days. Someone going to pay the light bill.Negotiate or move on down to the next luxury model but maybe ill wave out the window with a new saab to you. Move them or brush the snow off

Money factors and deals 9-3 Aero Convertible by jeffepstein

Here's what I'm being told by my dealer. They want to charge me a money factor of .00319, not .00264, which allows the dealer to make some profit on the financing. When I told them that on a 36 month deal that amounts to $1,400 additional, they told me they only get 40% of that, and the rest goes to Saab. Huh? Does this sound legitimate?
 
They offered 6.25 on 60 month straight financing. The payment would be about $150 more per month, but at the end of 36months, the car loan would be about 60% amortized, vs. a 62% residual on the 36 month lease. In other words, if I wanted to buy the vehicle at the end of 36 month lease, I would need to pay about $28K. Although my payments were $150 more per month, on the loan, I would only OWE about $16K. It would seem to be a much better deal to buy it.
 
Also, they were giving me some small discount, but the line is that the pricing is pretty much fixed. Is there any truth to this?
 
Thanks,

As I said ....post the details of the "DEAL " you said you were offered rather than making general statements about the corporate state of G.M.,the cost of utilities and weather forecasts. POST YOUR NUMBERS! I gave you specifics on why it can't be done.Poker analogy? Ok! I call your "bet"...... lets see your cards (the numbers.)

Essentially the dealer is taking you for a ride. The $1,400 is all dealer profit on that lease. The interest rate on 60 month buy is higher than you could get getting your own financing. Saab dealers right now have no desire to negotiate...they have this attitude that some how Saab has instantaneously has some pedigree that they can sell at almost MSRP..(I told them you are not BMW)....they want to bring up how Saab lowered pricing on 06's...just because the MSRP is less doesn't mean consumers are going to buy at prices close to MSRP so they can make huge profits per sale without even including financing profit. My local dealer quoted me at $400 under MSRP on a 9-3 2.0T in early october ans was unwilling to move. I told them contact when you serious about selling cars. I hope they have hired alot of help to move snow off that inventory this winter. Saab dealers current policy appears to be not to try to make profit on volume but to make larger profit per sale. I am going to wait it out because incentives/rebates will becoming from GM corporate since sales are way down.

If the one of the purposes of this forum is to provide prospective lessee's with correct information on factory sponsored programs,I sincerely wish the moderator would be a little more aggressive in correcting MISINFORMATION!In regard to your statement that dealer X is making $1,400 on lease rate let me try to clarify this point.A Saab dealer is allowed to mark up published lease rates by up to but no more than.00040 basis pts.So a published rate of .00164(current on 9-3 2.0T sedan)can be marked up to a maximum of .00204,the dealer is than paid 70% of that .00040 markup,typically no more than $500-600 ,dependent on model and gross cap cost.Far from the $1,400 you mistakenly claim.I gather from your comments regarding negotiating price that you are representative of a pct.of the buying public that is more interested in "the deal" ,meaning big rebates and inflated dealer mark-ups that can be given away,than "the price paid".Make an informed comparison between '05 models final selling prices and '06 models which start at roughly $3,500 less than correspondingly equipped models of the previous years.Yes,the "DEAL"is less impressive....the final selling prices are fractionally different.

Just seems to be alot of talk on this board about clearing snow off of cars! Is this a farmers almanac/wooly bear caterpillar thing or are all these pseudo-buyers unhappy Weathermen with disposable income?
