Replying to: chazbug (Dec 14, 2007 4:08 am) MSRP: 33730 Sales Price: 31764 Residual : 60% Money Factor: .0018125 Effective APR: 4.35% Term: 39 Residual: 20238 Depreciation: 11526 Monthly Depreciation: 295.54 Monthly Finance Fee: 94.25 Total Monthly Payment: 389.79 Now here is what you need to do to improve this deal 1) Saab's lease acquisition fee is $595. They are marking it up $100 on you. Tell them you know it's $595, and that is what you expect to pay. 2) The security deposit is BS. I believe this buys the interest rate down, but the rate is 4.35 without the deposit, so they are making more money because of this. I would negotiate this out. 3) Like the other poster stated, the gas fee is BS. The $45 dollar dealer fee also sounds like BS. It's called added dealer profit, and I would negotiate it out. So you should be able to negotiate a down payment of $2316 = $388 + 595 Bank Fee,+$12.50 NY State tire recycling fee + $1311 NY State Sales Tax (at a rate of 8.375%) + $10 NY State Inspection They probably will balk at this, but if you threaten to walk, or tell them you got a better deal elsewhere, they will likely come around. Good luck. I just leased one myself. It was a painwith all the games they tried to play. I had to walk out of the finance office twice when signing the papers because they tried to sneak extra fee's in there. So keep on your toes. p.s. That sucks that NY makes you pay the tax up front. One of the big advantages of leasing for me is you only pay tax on the monthly payment, so your only paying on the depreciation, not the full value of the car.

Replying to: bluebird23 (Dec 14, 2007 3:26 pm) charges.It's only within the last two years or so that you are again able to lease a car in those states.Liability issues being worked out in the judicial system completely eliminated closed end leasing in those states for a couple of years,you could only do a Balloon note.So forget the idea that it's a dealer mark-up and a negotiable item. The rate is currently based at 4.35% and you have to have Saab lease loyalty or owner loyalty eligibility for an automatic waiver of security deposit otherwise the rate DOES have to be marked up .50%. You honestly think this guy should make an issue over a $45.00 fee paperwork processing fee?How long did it take you to work out the paperwork and fees on your home mortgage!!??...Good Grief!

Thanks to all who provided such great information in December. I am looking to lease a 9-3 2.0T with the Premium Pkg + Moonroof, AT, etc. Dealer quoted $423 per month for 27 months at 12,000 per year. based on earlier discussion of Residual Value for 27 months at 69% and MF at 4.35%, this lease amount seems high. Does anyone have recent experience to share. Thanks

Replying to: dgebler (Feb 24, 2008 10:50 pm) My problem is that none of the dealerships have the car that I want and have to find a dealer that does. I am thinking about just driving down to Mass considering it is only an hour and half from where I live and deal with that deal directly. |

Can anyone tell me the MF and RES value for the month of Feb. on a 9-3 Conv. standard? Dealership gave me a 65% RES, which I think it's too high and a MF of .003 (7.20% way too high) 39 mo 12k miles I'll appreciate the info as I need to make the deal by Saturday (1,000.00 cash back ends in FL)

CarMan, Thanks for all you do here. I'd appreciate your thoughts on a lease I was offered for a Saab 9-3 Sport Sedan with a 27 month term and 12,000 miles per year. Options include, cold package, 17" alloy wheels, and moonroof package. Vehicle Price: $31,273 (includes $500 rebate and $595 acquisiton fee rolled in) Residual Value $22,242,15 Lease Rate: 4.35% Monthly base payment: $459.63 After 6% Michigan Sales Tax: $459.63 Upfront fees include a doc fee of $75 (which I plan to try to negotiate out), $15 title fee, $8 for plates, and $34.50 in taxes. For some reason, this seems a bit high and it includes GM supplier discount. If I don't roll the aqcuistion fee, my guess is the payment drops by about $30 per month. Still, it seems a bit high. Am I missing something?
