Hello tolleyinpgh. I can tell you that there's no way that I would pay $600 a month for any Saab 9-3. If I was in the market for one, I personally would shoot for a selling price of right around dealer invoice minus the $500 bonus cash that Saab is currently providing on it and then have the dealer that I was working with use Saab's base lease rate of 4.5% to calculate my monthly payment. You can look up this car's dealer invoice price by visiting the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com. That should result in a lower payment than the one that you were initially quoted.

Should I ask for the 4.5% and the 56% residual if I want the low mileage lease price? I'm not sure what the lease rate is for the special 27 month 27,000 mile offer they currently have. I used the Edmunds site to determin that the car is $31,485 like they said, and the invoice is 29,840 without the $500 bonus cash.
 
I want the 27mo/27,000 lease, but am not sure of the residual and money factor/interest of the "Fly Home " base offer. Or even if they can give me those terms toward a non-base model.
 
Sorry for all of the questions, but I can find the numbers, even in their fine print...
 
Thanks!

The residual is 69% on the 27mos. lease program with 12k. per mos, and the money factor thru gmac is 4.35%, but dealers tend to mark it up to 4.85% to make some extra $$. There is some Saab websites out there with lots of info. Email me if you have any questions, I'm a current owner of 2 saabs.

Hey spike1282. Saab's current base lease rate and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan with 10,000 miles per year are 4.35% and 73%, respectively. The lease rate for an otherwise identical 27 month lease would be the same, but the residual value would be 1% lower. Saab is no longer offering leases on 2007 models.
 
You are correct, if you are eligible for GM's Supplier Purchase Program the selling price that the program provides will become the capitalized cost for your lease.

Hello kmur. Saab's current base lease rate and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2008 9-3 2.0T Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are 4.35% and 68%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are 4.35% and 57%. As you can see, Saab publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400. When negotiating your lease, make sure to take advantage of the $500 bonus cash that Saab is providing on this model.

Hey kmur. What you were told is correct. The $2,500 dealer cash that Saab is currently providing on the 2008 9-3 is not compatible with its special lease program, but Saab is now providing $500 bonus cash on this model that is.

Hi Dan. Since you have never negotiated a lease before, 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.
 
The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. The best way to get a good deal on the Saab that you are interested in leasing is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on it. If I was in the market for a 9-3 right now, I personally would shoot for a price of right around dealer invoice and then have the dealer subtract the $500 bonus cash that is available on this model from that. You can look up the dealer invoice price of the car that you are interested in by visiting the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com.
 
As far as this car's lease program goes, Saab's current base lease rate and residual value for a 27 month lease of a 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T with 12,000 miles per year are 4.35% and 69%, respectively. Make sure that the dealer you are working with uses this lease rate to calculate your car's lease payment.

Hi again Car Man - I sent you an email with this question a minute ago. I don't know which way is better. I'm going today, so I'm doing both -
 
I was originally going to lease a '08 9-3 combi, but have decided to buy. I have the GM "Pull Ahead" offer of $1000, as I have a GMAC lease that's ending. There's the "Fly Home" $500 national offer, and I see there's a $2500 factory-dealer incentive.
  
Can I get all three, or is there a limit on this?
  
I'm going today, please help ASAP.
  
Thanks!

residual/money factor on 2007 convertible by drfnw

My local Saab dealer has offered a great lease cap. cost on a leftover 07 convertible (10K off sticker,$500 more off for purchase due to higher loyalty allowance). What I don't know is the residual picture and the interest rate for top tier borrower. Any insights out there before I go talk to the dealer? Thanks.
