Replying to: rajar (Jan 29, 2007 8:03 pm) The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable. You were quoted a discount of $1,540 on the 2007 9-3 2.0T Sedan that you are interested in. A base version of this car has a spread of $1,366 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. That means that the quoted that you were given is probably only a couple hundred dollars over invoice, which is a good deal for a lease of this car right now. Vehicles' money factors and lease rates are not negotiable in that dealers to not have the authority to lower banks' published rates. However, dealers are often allowed to make vehicles' rates up to add additional, hidden profit to deals. That's why it is important to know what the base rate should be for the vehicle that you want to lease. With the payment of a security deposit at lease signing, this car's current base lease rate is 3.35%. Make sure that the dealer you are working with uses this lease rate to calculate your car's lease payment and you're in business. You can lease this car with 15,000 miles per year instead of 12,000, but doing to will lower its residual value slightly and in turn increase your monthly payment by a few dollars. Inception charges are the money that you have to pay at lease signing. It is different than a down payment in that it includes your vehicle's first month's payment, its security deposit, Saab Financial Services' $595 acquisition fee, any required state taxes or fees AND your down payment IF you choose to make one. Consumers are never required to make down payments on leased vehicles. In fact, it is in your best interest not to make one. Consumers who make down payments on leases risk losing them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

I am just returning my lease and will never get one. Bad service, the dealerships in California are basically and extension of cadillac dealership. Add this to your cost of leasing. Brakes need replacing every $25,000 miles and $500 bucks per axel i.e $1000 on brakes. Everything falls apart. I had about 4 rcalls and the dealership loans me a Chevy cobalt from enterprise rental everytime I go there. If you buy a BMW you drive a BMW loaner when your car is in the shop. Use your own judgement before you buy or lease one. And the lease return, They give you a book and make you go through every nick and dent plus there the $350 recovery fee. Also add replacement of all 4 tires for $1000. The perelli's don't for 45,000 miles and they make you replace them for excessive wear and tear. I am a GM employee and won't consider another SAAB even with GM employee discount. I am buying the Saturn Aura.

Replying to: saablcp (Feb 22, 2007 12:37 pm) andygrv has told us the story about his personal experience with the SAAB lease and dealership in California, not in Pennsylvania. If you like your local SAAB dealers-good for you! The fellow in California was not trying to convince you otherwise. Yet, having four recalls on a car is not OK, not these days. Do not jump on this fellow because of a misprint and call him semi-literate. BTW, it is ether literate or illiterate, the same as a fish quility: there is no second grade freshness. "...some of the criticisms you are applying universally" - do not put words in someone's mouth. Our personal experience is what we, most of the time, make our conclusions and decisions. andygrv has decided for him/herself not to deal anymore with SAAB based on his personal experience in California. If one to extrapolate your logic, he should not have come to such conclusion before spending some time in your area, where SAAB dealers are good. Then what, he/she will have to move in permanently? I do not think so. We stay where we like, we buy cars, and if we are not happy with them, we get rid of them and buy the better ones. Perception of a car quality is based upon opinions of individual owners. If particular owner feels that his/her car is just a moving nuisance, nothing could change that. So, enjoy your SAAB and let others to express freely their opinions. Matroskin
