Hi wokscott. The 2007 Saab 9-3 has a spread of around $1,500 between its MSRP and dealer invoice price. Saab is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of this model. As a result, the $2,200 discount that you were quoted on this car looks very attractive to me. The lease rate that you were quoted is right in line with Saab's base rate for this model. This looks like a good deal. If you like the car, go for it.

You are right, confused13. The 5.35% lease rate that you were quoted for this car is too high. Saab's current base lease rate for any length lease of a 2007 9-3 Sedan is currently only 3.35%. Make sure that the dealer you are working with uses this rate to calculate your monthly payment. You may be able to do a couple hundred dollars better than the $700 discount that you were quoted is well. Make sure to stop by the "Saab 9-3 Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar cars lately.

Hey astern26. I would be happy to give you an idea of what sort of lease payment you can expect to pay on these cars. It would be a big help though if you would provide me with the MSRPs and dealer invoice prices of the exact models that you are interested in as you want them equipped first. You can look up these prices in the Edmunds.com New Vehicle Pricing section.

Hi eschule. Saab is currently running an early lease termination program that you could use to get out of your lease early. Unfortunately though this program, if you are even eligible for it with ten payments left, only waived four months worth of payments. That means that you would still have to waste six of your remaining payments to get out of your car right now. It sounds like you waited too long to get new brake pads and may not have to replace the rotors, which is obviously very expensive. Unfortunately, I personally don't see any way for you to avoid having to pay to fix this.

Hi Car_man,
 
Can you tell me where I can find more details on the Saab early lease termination? Is this only when you purchase/lease another Saab? Or does it apply to any new GM lease or purchase?
 
Thanks!

Just keep one thing in mind car_man...even though the two point mark-up by the dealer is more often than not done to earn finance profit,GMAC will approve applications which SFSC would have rejected if there are credit issues by accepting the contract with a MANDATORY two point increase to the standard rate.I don't know that this is the case in regard to this person but is a possible explanation.

Most DIY folks can do that job, using new Brembo (better than the OEMs) rotors, for less than $250. It's an easy job - I would suggest you get out your wrenches.

Thanks Carman. This dealer said he would "give me" his "buy rate" of 4.35%. He also tried to tell me that the difference between invoice price and MSRP on this vehicle was only $600! Their price was about $1000 high. I walked.

Not the case. I have very good credit score.

Hi bluebird23. I'm not aware of any place on the web that contains information on the early lease termination program, but it definitely exists. I am not 100% positive, but I believe that you would be able to get out of your current Saab early if you purchase or lease any other GM vehicle, not just a new Saab.
