Greetings mattya. The lease program that you were quoted for this car is right in line with Saab's base program for this car. This is a good thing. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing though. 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 give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.

Hi dmvalynn. The money factor and residual value that you were quoted for the 9-3 2.0T Convertible that you are interested in are right in line with Saab's base lease program for it. This is a good thing.
 
Now let's take a look at this car's selling price. The model that you described probably has a spread of around $2,200 between its full MSRP and its dealer invoice price. That puts the selling price that you were quoted below invoice, which is an excellent deal.
 
The two main profit centers on leases look good to me. If you like the car, I personally don't see any reason not to go for it.

Sorry to be nit-picky,but S.F.S.C. stopped being the source for leasing Saabs well over a year ago.All leases are done through G.M.A.C.

Are these numbers correct? by jpsnack

I'm about to close tomorrow on a 27 month/15K per year lease on a 2007 Saab 9-3. It is a dealer demo car with 5130 miles on it.
 
The dealer is quoting 4.35% Interest Rate and 68% Residual. Is that correct, or is he tacking an extra point on the interest rate?
  
MSRP: $30495
Cap Cost: $28067
Tax, Acquisition fee, and registrations fees paid up front.
 
Bottom line - the dealer quotes $380.47/month but when I run the lease calculator it comes $360.56.
 
His number for the residual is $20271 which is 66.5% I assume that it is because of the extra depreciation due to the 5130 miles on the car to start. Is that correct?
 
Am I missing anything else?

Just met with the dealer and here's the deal we worked out for a 27 month/15K per year lease for the 9-3 with auto, cold weather package and metallic paint, driven 5013 miles by the owner's wife:
 
MSRP 30565
Cap Cost: 28067
Rate 3.35% (with a $400 security deposit. The 4.35% rate was without the deposit)
Residual: 20271 (68% reduced by existing miles $.10/mi )
Nothing down to reduce the cap cost, just tax, title, security deposit, acq fee and first month's payment. Monthly payment came to $359 and change.
 
We pick it up this afternoon.

Here's the offer for my 39 month Saab with auto/cold package/sunroof. 12k miles/yr, 2000 down.
 
MSRP: 30,095
 
$371/month.
 
Thoughts appreciated and I would greatly appreciate what else I should be thinking about. First time leasing and just starting my homework. Thanks!

GM Card earnings for Saab by umbelwheat

Can I use my GM Card points towards the lease of a new Saab. I know this was previously unavailable, but now when I go to the payment estimator at GMAC, it lets me imput GM Card points when pricing a Saab. Any insight would be extremely helpful. Thanks.

That would certianly be news, but there's nothing on the gmcard site about it. Either it's a mistake in the payment estimator, or they just let someting slip!
 
I have $1400 on my gmcrd right now... Along with the $7500 cashback on a 9-3 aero combi now, that would make a pretty sweet deal.
