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.

Where are you located. In Twin Cities, I am being told lease rate is 5.35%, not 3.35% With $1000 drive off, I am being quoted $434!!!

Advice on what to do with possible lease termination

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.

Well you may be liable for the brakes even if you could turn it in now. Brakes are just like tires in that they are wear items not covered by warranty. You are responsible for the vehicle being in normal operating condition as well as routine maintenance. I will say that $1000 seems quite high. You might try a shop that specializes in Saabs (other than the dealer). I see no way out of the lease 10 months early without it costing you in the end.

Returning a car with brakes worn beyond safety standards would not be excluded as "normal wear and tear" by any leasing agent.The only thing "normal" about brakes are the fact that you WILL wear them out in the course of driving and with the exception of BMW,NO manufacturer covers them under warranty.The price you are being quoted is only slightly higher than I would expect for pads and rotors.In addition....if you are just doing brakes for the first time at 42,000 miles I would suggest you you don't realize how lucky you are .That is well above normal replacement mileage for almost any car.In addition,Why and how does the fact you have to pay for replacement brakes influence your decision as to whether you buy the car at lease end? Any car,leased or otherwise,will require up keep.Can't wait to read your post when your tires need replacing!!LOL!

Ahhh, thanks for the information dhanley. That's silly. I could see why the GM Card would have excluded Saturn models years ago when the brand was first launched and it refused to provide cash incentives on them, but now it has all sorts of incentives on Saturns. As far as Saab goes, perhaps GM is trying to distance it from the rest of its divisions to help maintain the image that it is an independent Swedish brand. Either way, the exclusion of these brands doesn't make much sense to me.

Hi al2007. Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
As far as this specific lease goes, you never mentioned the selling price of the 9-3 that you are interested in leasing. This is an important number 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 the price of the car that you want to lease you don't know how good a price you are getting it for. The second reason is that one needs the selling price of a vehicle that they want to lease is that it is necessary 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 its selling price is.

Hello ronsf. This selling price would definitely be high if you were paying cash for this vehicle, but it's not too bad for a lease because the $4,000 consumer cash incentive that is available on this model is not compatible with its special lease program. It is probably around $700 or so over dealer invoice. You may want to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar models lately: "Saab 9-3 Prices Paid and Buying Experience". The lease rate that you were quoted for this car is right in line with this model's base lease rate.

Hi mahoba. I don't know what Saab's specific policy on this matter is, but most banks allow dealers to mark-up their base lease rates and money factors to add additional hidden, back-end profit to deals. That is why it is important to make sure that the dealer you are working with is using the base rate to calculate your monthly payment.
