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.

Question about Saab depreciation

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.

.........and if you check NADA Blue Book you'll get yet another price!These resources are much more reliable as an info gathering starting point to negotiate intelligently on the price of a new car as opposed to used cars.If used car pricing,as a purchase or a trade,were not subject to things like market conditions,seasonality and regional demands there would be much less of a discrepancy regarding the prices you are seeing as you survey different sites.The accurate price more often than not is going to be somewhere around an average of all three sites pricing.

Does anybody have info on lease rates for this model? I am getting dealer quotes of $550/month, which seems high to me. Any info would be appreciated.

First point:With the Turbo-X still 2 months from arriving in U.S. showrooms you will not find leasing info ANYWHERE...reason being it hasn't been announced yet.And while I'm sure the Turbo-X will be available to lease,with 600 total units available for sale in the entire U.S.A. it's unlikely you will see any dramatic subsidies or rebates,if any at all.

I know that the car is not available yet, and I tend to agree on the lack of discounts. I have read that the XWD package and a higher boost turbo will be offered on the 93 Aero later this year. These features are already checkbox items on Carsdirect.com, where a fully loaded version can be bought (or ordered at least) for $38272, which is a nice discount against an invoice price of $41772. It seems like a better bet to wait for those that make the jump for a limited edition model. Do you have any thoughts on likely lease rates based on the above buy price once the XWD is generally available on the 93 Aero?

I've negotiated the price on a 2008 2.0T, manual transmission, with cold weather package down to 26K. I was presented with a lease price on this car of 410 a month with 2500 down and 15K miles per year. Can I expect do any better on the price? any feed back is greatly appreciated

That seems very high for a negotiated price of $26K and such a large down payment. I would certainly shop around and also check the selling price relative to dealer invoice price. I would shoot for at or below invoice before any rebates or incentives are applied.
