Good Morning: I just received a lease offer on a 60th Anniv 9-3 2.0LTurbo... 12,000 miles 27 months $401 inception $32,920 sticker GMS pricing $352 per month Is anything negotiable on a GMS lease? Or is it take it or leave it. Also, what is the base rate that you speak of and how does it come into play? Thank you.

hi car_man, I have a question about leasing a 2007 saab 9-3 2.0t. This is my first time leasing so I want to make sure I'm not getting taken advantage of: MSRP: $28,015 $259/month, 27 months, 10,000 miles a year $2129 due at signing, plus taxes This is a "special" they are running. Is there a way to not put $2129 down plus taxes? I'd like the payment to not go over $300/month. Is this possible, or am I dreaming? I'd apreciate any help you can provide. Thanks so much!

Replying to: bill_saab (Feb 26, 2007 9:23 am) If you are leasing, why put anything down on it? $2129 divided by 27 months is $79/month. Total price is $338/month. Don't forget, they offer early lease turn in. Sometimes 2-3 months early. So why make the downpayment? Don't throw money away. Keep it in your pocket, not his. Wait em' out and let them come to you. |

Saablcp, I may be illiterate but I am bright enough to understand what a real scheduled maintenance means and you should check out BMW 's site for it. link title Dont get confused with what SAAB sells as scheduled maintenance. BMW covers the brakes for 50,000 miles and they don't charge $1000 (front and rear) for a brake job at 25,000 miles nor does BMW ask you to replace all the tires when you return the car. I am not trying to bash SAAB but I just want future buyers to know that there are other hidden costs when you lease a SAAB and there are other car companies like BMW that covers them. And that is the exact reason why BMW is still independent and not bought over by GM or Ford. I am just trying to warn the buyers that in your 45,000 mile lease cost of leasing make sure you add $1000 for a brake job and a set a of tires plus a $350 recovery fees. Saablcp You can use your PHD and read what BMW has to say about schedules maintanance. We cover all factory-recommended maintenance at no charge for four years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first, as well as items that need replacement due to regular wear and tear. Your maintenance costs: Scheduled inspections: $0 Brake Pads: $0 Brake Rotors: $0 Engine Belts: $0 Oil Changes: $0 Wiper Blade Inserts: $0 Inspections: $0 Fluid Services: $0 By offering such a comprehensive maintenance program with every new vehicle, we are able to help you manage the cost of ownership and keep maintenance costs down. And since all services are done at an authorized BMW center, by a BMW certified technician who has been specially trained by us, we can guarantee that only original BMW parts will be used. In other words, your BMW will be maintained by our standards, which are, admittedly, higher than most. Also BMW and Lexus actually gives a BMW or Lexus as replacement vehicle when your car is in the shop.

Replying to: andygrv (Feb 27, 2007 2:26 pm) First of all, let me point out that i am a huge BMW fan, own one, and will most probably buy a 335i sometime soon. BMW's scheduled maintenence is one year longer than saab's and they cover brakes. But bear in mind a similar BMW may be several thousand more than a similar saab in a lease deal, or 5-10K more purchased. That will cover an extra brake job and 1 year of maintenence quite easily. On a BMW you will also most likely need to buy tires over the course of a 45K lease, and they have lease end fees as well--everyone does. BMW brakes may cost more or less than saab ones depending on where you go. Even brakes on a chevy can set you back. That's life. Secondly, there is a lot of variance between dealers. My old saab dealer did give saabs as loaner cars. All my bmw dealers have as well, but i do know of bmw dealers that do not. |

Replying to: saablcp (Feb 27, 2007 2:40 pm) Hm. That's a *little* bit of a stretch. Mercedes is certianly a direct competitior, and in some contexts more expensive companies like porsche and maserati are (m5 versus quatroporte?). Strictly speaking, saab and BMW are not competitiors, so it's hard really compare their cost/benefit. When i think of competitors for saab, i think acura and maybe even subaru. |

- Northern NJ - Got a few lease quotes around the same price for a 9-3 60th anniversary with cold weather package, auto and moonroof msrp ~$32,000 27 months $320 a month $1000 cap cost reduc. Only about $25 a month more than a 20,000 msrp Nissan altima... I could have gotten the 9-3 aero for about $50 more a month if I wanted.... tempting but I don't need the power and less mpg. Saab really does have some good lease deals right now. easy choice!
