#64 of 546 Re: Single Payment Lease: Good or Bad? [kyfdx] by saablcp Nov 26, 2005 (9:35 am)
Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 17, 2005 4:36 pm) This is not a matter of opinion...it's a math/economics calculation.If you lease a 2.0T with an M.S.R.P.of $32,165 for 24mos./12K.,cap cost $500 over invoice less rebate result net cap=dealer invoice,traditional calculation using .00164 money factor you have $2,109.12 in finance charges.One pay option reduces M.F.to.00044 and finance charges reduce to $565.92...net savings of $1,543.12...your decision?Can you earn more by keeping the lump sum of the lease payments liquid and invested or take the sure thing tax free return on your money that the one -pay option guarantees.NOTE...One pay option is only viable when the M.F.is high enough to allow you to take advantage of the full .00120 basis pt. reduction,e.g. current M.F on leftover '05 9-5'S is .00032 for 36 mos.One pay would be a BAD choice.

Replying to: qool (Nov 16, 2005 6:25 pm) You're welcome, Rob. The exact cost of trading for a vehicle will depend upon how far the dealer has to go to get the one that you want. While cost is important, the fact that dealers prefer to sell vehicles out of their own inventory over ordered or vehicles that they have to trade for will be a bigger factor. Most dealers would rather sell something that they already have quickly so that they can stop paying floorplan interest on it than have to go through the trouble of swapping or ordering. See what this dealer has to say. You never know they might be willing to get the car that you want without much of a difference in price, just be prepared for the possibility that they might not be willing to sell for a vehicle that they have to jump through hoops to get for the same price that they have in stock.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: saablcp (Nov 17, 2005 9:34 am) Good point, saablcp. Audi doesn't call its wagons wagons either. I guess that it is a marketing think because the whole "wagon" name doesn't sound cool enough to a lot of people.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Replying to: gperr (Nov 22, 2005 6:47 pm) Hey gperr. Here's the info that you are looking for. If you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Sedan through Saab Financial Services Corp. right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00164 and 59%, respectively. The residual value for an otherwise identical lease with only 10,000 miles per year would increase to 60%. I believe that SFSC's base lease acquisition fee is currently $595 in most states, but a little higher than that in a few. The $500 dealer cash that Saab is currently providing on the '06 9-3 is not compatible with this lease program, but Saab does have $500 bonus cash on it that is.   GM was running an early lease termination for any consumer with a GMAC lease through 11/14/05 of last month. I believe that the offer your friend got is different than this one though. It sounds like a targeted direct mail offer that is designed to pull anyone who is currently leasing into a GM product. You probably have to be on some sort of targeted marketing list to get this offer and it may not be transferable.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: saablcp (Dec 07, 2005 11:17 am) jonatj (Dec 29, 2005 3:36 pm)
#68 of 546 Re: November MF & Residuals - 2006 2.0T Sedan [rugby_s2k] by Car_man HOST Dec 04, 2005 (5:40 am)
Replying to: rugby_s2k (Nov 23, 2005 7:19 am) You are correct, Michael. Saab Financial Services, November and December buy rate lease money factor for the 2006 9-3 2.0T Sedan is .00164 for any lease up to 48 months in length. Its 24 month, 15,000 miles per year residual value for the month of December is 70% and its 36 month 15k residual is 58%. Its 12,000 miles per year residual values would be 1% higher.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Car_Man, Hi, do you know what the December money factor and residual values are for a 36 month lease and 15K miles per year? I saw you mention the 2.0 values but I'm not sure if they are the same for the 9-3 Aero. Thanks!
#70 of 546 G.M. Targeted mail... by saablcp Dec 07, 2005 (11:17 am)
Replying to: Car_man (Dec 04, 2005 5:29 am) You are correct,it is a targeted mail promotion including an add'l $1,000 rebate.No real explanation given to us by G.M as to how or whom they choose to target.Totally non-transferable other than to spouse.
#71 of 546 Lease for 9-3 2.0T '06 Arc Convertible by huskyfan1 Dec 11, 2005 (5:50 pm)
Hi Car_Man, Thanks for managing this forum. Great info! This is my first lease and first Saab. Have read all the info here on Edmunds and am now seeking some answers as I go into the leasing process. Do you or does anyone know the money factor and residual value for '06 2.0T Arc Convertible? I'm also wondering if GM is still offering "employee" price discounts to the general public. Thanks in advance.

#73 of 546 I was one! by bberke Dec 16, 2005 (10:23 pm)
I got the offer from GM for up to 2000 payoff for my current leased vehicle. I am now looking at 9-3 or 9-5 24 month lease with 10000 miles. what are residuals and money factor on these so I can go make a deal? With the soft market on Saabs are people getting these at invoice with coupons, holdback etc...?
