Replying to: Car_man (Nov 16, 2005 3:46 am) So I'm in contact with a Saab dealer, and the purchase price seems fair to me, but they don't have a specific color I'd like. I've been avoiding specifics to keep the focus on the price. Do you have an idea what it might cost a dealer to trade with another dealer or manufacturer for a specific color 9-3? I'm thinking it would be around the ballpark of $100-$300 if the dealer had to pay to transport it. (I shipped my car across California for $300 a year ago) The nocturne and fusion blues look awesome! Rob

Hello again, Has anyone on this forum explored the up-front single payment lease option? Details are limited on the net, but from what I understand you simply pay the depreciation of the car and no finance fee, since you are not borrowing the depreciation over the term of the lease. Does that sound correct? In numbers, a money factor of .00164 translates into an annual interest rate of 3.936%, which you would be saving per year. Or, if you opted to go with the traditional monthly lease, you would have to be able to earn greater than 3.936% from investment money to cancel out Saab Financial's finance fee. Am I reasoning about this correctly? Anyone know of some huge downsides to the up-front single payment lease? Thanks people.

Replying to: qool (Nov 17, 2005 4:31 pm) If the bank buys the vehicle you are leasing from the dealership for $30K, and you pay $15K to lease it for 3 years.. ..there are still finance charges to pay on the residual amount (assume $17K).... By paying all of the depreciation and finance charges upfront, the bank will usually charge a reduced finance rate.. and that is where the savings occur.. but, it is nowhere close to the entire finance charges... regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

Car_man, Hi. Can you please provide the current MF and Res for 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T, 36m, 10 & 12k miles. Also can you please provide the standard Saab lease acq fee. Does the $500 cash incentive apply to 2.0T as well? A friend received a solicitation from GM saying they would pay up to $2000 toward any current lease he is in if he wants out early on any lease he currently has. It does not even say the current lease has to be a GM lease. Is this the standard we'll just roll it in offer, or is GM really making this offer? thanks gperr

Trying to tie-down the November MF & Residuals for a 2006 2.0T Sedan. MF seems to be .00164, regardless of 36 / 24 month term. Correct??? Residuals for would be: 24/12k 24/15k 36/12k 36/15k I assume that residuals would differ from the combi and convertible . . . lots of discussion on these models but not the base 2.0T. I need to close a lease prior to month end as my current car is due back on Nov 29. Your assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Michael
