#462 of 546 Verification of lease payment on 9-3 by cdutch Mar 10, 2008 (4:35 pm)
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? Replies to this message: cdutch (Mar 11, 2008 7:55 am)

Replying to: ironhead1980 (Feb 26, 2008 6:28 pm) The res.Pct. 65% is exactly right for a 9-3 Aero Conv. for 39 mos.,15K. per/yr.Interest rate is marked up .50%,from 6.70%,possibly to waive your security deposit.Otherwise these are the correct lease parameters through at least March 31.If you are in fact looking at a 2.0T model,then the residual value for 39mos.,12k.per/yr. should actually be 68%! Dealers are allowed to mark rate up as much as 1%,residual values are not subject to adjustment by the dealer in any other way than deductions for added length of term(eg.39mos.vs.36mos.)and more or less mileage allowance.And in the case of res.pct. there are only two numbers applicable .......the right one and everything else(also known as the WRONG one!lol!)

Replying to: ilovemysaab (Mar 15, 2008 7:38 pm) Thanks for the info. What was the money factor rate? Replies to this message: ilovemysaab (Mar 16, 2008 11:44 am) sheepdog1 (Mar 16, 2008 12:21 pm)

Replying to: sheepdog1 (Mar 16, 2008 6:01 am) Look on your contract for money factor or interest rate. On a lease you need to know the residual value or what they think the car will be worth at the end of the lease (the higher the better since you're paying on the difference between the cap cost reduction=sales price and the residual value, most manufacturers prop up the residual value in order to move metal) but you definitely don't want to purchase it at the end of the lease because the inflated price doesn't match the market price. the cap cost reduction is msrp-any rebates or dealer reductions=sales price. Then you need to know the money factor or interest rate. If it is a wierd number then usally can multiply it by 2400 to arrive at an interest rate. Manufacturers also usually have a low money factor rate also to subsidize leases but this is where dealers can mark it up but you probably got the Saab Spring deal which is a national rate.
#471 of 546 Question about Saab depreciation by pcampos Mar 17, 2008 (9:15 pm)
Hi, I'm posting this here because the people answering questions in this thread seem very knowledgeable . . . I'm considering a Saab 2002 9-3 SE and there's a huge difference between the KBB price ($9200) and the Edmunds price ($6500). This is for a private party sale for a car in good condition with 71,000 miles on it. I'm wondering which price is more realistic. Replies to this message: saablcp (Mar 21, 2008 5:43 am)
