| thanks--I actually got the Employee Price and a GM lease at a decent rate (I think)--$540/month for 39mos/12Kmiles | |
| Car_man knows of what he speaks.If you leased a Saab,other than a 9-7X,after 09/02 it was through an independent source not through GMAC. | |
|
Anyone have any info on current lease deals? Recent deals you've been able to negotiate? Thanks

Car_man, I am interested in '08Saab9-3 lease and I need help. I really like the car, even with the reliability issues and potential GM bankrupcy(any thoughts on this, will/how it effect us the owners?). GM doesn't offer leases anymore, so how is the situation with independent banks - pluses and minuses? Local dealers use US Bank , any idea/feedback? Should I be "scared" of third party lease ? Dealers are offering 10-12k off MSRP and I am allegeable for $2000 "lease to buy", so we are looking at $290-300 per month(+TTL=$1700) for a car with $31-35,000 sticker . |

Replying to: bluffs (Nov 21, 2008 12:29 am) You are correct, General Motors no longer offers supported leases on its products. As you mentioned, this means that if you want to lease one you will have to do so through an independent bank. What are the terms of the lease that you mentioned in your post, i.e. length, mileage allowance, MSRP, etc... $300 per month seems very reasonable for a 9-3.

Replying to: Car_man (Dec 10, 2008 5:30 pm) Thanks for responding to my post, I thought you forgot about us(Saab forums). Here is my 2008 Saab93-Lease experience. The $290-$300(with tax) payment was for a 36months/12k miles lease through an independent bank(US Bank) no matter what I do . I know this sound strange, but that was the payment for Saabs with MSRP $30,xxx(brand new sedan) to $35,xxx(combi demo), depending on dealership , sedan or combi, trim levels, new or demo ... and etc.I am interested in the cheapest possible lease. It was/is very, very difficult to compare these leases apple to apple due to the uniqueness of the lease program. I was quoted MF 0.00215, 0.00229, 0.00235, .... 0.0033 and MF=APR %16 !!! (that was offer from a dealer using GMAC which equated to payment of $5xx a month), selling price from $8,xxx to $14,000 off MSRP, bank fee $595, $645, $795, $895, $995 and etc. And .... here is the Real Deal I agreed, Real Surprise  There is a dealership (the only one around) offers leases through a local credit union. 2008 Saab9-3 Sedan demo(2500 miles), 24 months (yes, 2 years), 12K miles/year. MSRP $31,xxx , "Sold" for $19,3xx, MF 0.00229, Bank fee $645. Monthly $272(with tax) + TTL $1364 (Doc.$299, Bank $645, $272 1st.month, DMV ....) in my opinion this is awesome deal. Did I get the car ? No......., unfortunately NO , I was denied by the credit union for whatever reson . I am so mad , I went home and checked my credit reports , ALL looked good , my crdit score is 800(Transunion), 769(Equifax), 781(Experian) still can't believe. P.S.Buyers beware: official recession, GM possible bankrupcy , credit crisis.
