Hi all. I'm going to lease a 2007 Saab 9-3 base model (only option is cold climate package) and wanted to share my experience. 2007 Saab 9-3 2.0T Polar White Parchment Leather Cold Climate Package (heated seats, headlamp washers) MSRP: 27,545 Sell Price: 27,045 Invoice: 26,528 (per what the dealer showed me) Rate: 3.35% 39 mos & 12,000mi/year Residual: 58% No down payment Drive off is 1st month's payment, reg fee, refundable security deposit, tag and title ($1127.88) Monthly Payment: $387.88 including tax. How does that look? I enjoyed my experience with my local dealer, one of the best car shopping/buying experiences ever. Absolutely no pressure whatsoever. I've never leased before, so hopefully that deal is ok.

Hi Car_man, or anyone else that can answer this... Just got back from my local dealer, and was wondering if this is about as good as I can do on this... car: 2007, 9-3 2.0 sportcombi cold climate package roof rails 3800 miles- loaner/program car price- $29,935 Now here's where it gets a bit sticky. I am attempting to roll over around $3700 in negative equity in a Tahoe that I have that I need to get out of. I don't know if that price includes the negative equity or not... I assume it does...? Does that sound about right if so? Here's the offer I rec'd- 39 month lease, 15k miles/yr $1000 down $535/month 5% lease rate or... 39 month lease, 15k miles/yr $1525 down- to also cover security deposit $515/month 4% lease rate. A few questions- Does the 3.35% lease rate only apply to the sedan? That's what I was told... ? Does that appear to be a decent deal, given my circumstances with the neg equity?

Replying to: uncjedi (Aug 29, 2007 12:11 pm) The sales price I've been quoted is $29,800, BEFORE the rolled over negative equity amount... They came back with another offer: $1725 down, covering taxes, 1st pmt, taxes (SC), and security deposit, sales price $29,800 (9-3, auto, roof rails, cold climate package, loaner 3800 miles) 4% lease rate $499/month. This doesn't sound like that great of a deal to me, given the sales price. From what I've read on here, the sales price should probably be lower. What's the prevailing opinion? What's the invoice on this car? The car has a sticker of $30k and some change, but since it's a loaner, they have a sales price listed as $25,500- as a sale, not a lease I'm assuming. Still it looks like to me they'd be able to come down on that sales price... am I being too pesimistic?

Hey Car Man or anyone else knowledgeable, How does this sound on a Saab 9-3 Lease w/ Anniversary Package, Automatic and Sunroof: 27 months, 12K miles per year $1,328 Drive Off MSRP $32,370 Cap Cost $30,169 Residual $22,335 Rate 3.35% $346/month before tax

I am being quoted $700 off $31,370 MSRP for 9-3 2.0 Sport Sedan with automatic and anniversary package. 56% residual for 39 months at 12k per year and 71% for 27 months which seem good, but being quoted 5.35% rate which seems high. $458 for 39 and $489 for 27 months. Seems I should be able to get to $400 or so if I can get 3.35% rate and tweak the price a little? In Twin Cities area.

I have a 2004 9-3 Arc with 10 lease payments left. My warranty expired at 36,000 miles and I am at 42K. My car just started making a groaning/grinding noise with the brakes and have taken it to 2 places (one dealership, one local place) who both indpendently recommended that I needed to replace the rotars, pads etc... The cost of this job is in excess of $1000.00. Assuming this occurred at lease-end I could probably turn the car back in and not be out this expense due to "ordinary wear and tear". Unfortunately that is not the case and I still have to pay for the car for 10 more months. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I may resolve this either though early termination or some other way. Prior to this I would have considered buying out the residual but not anymore. I do not want to put $1000 into a car I am returning in less than a year. Any thoughts appreciated. |
