   Yep. I made sure of it by calling Lehman Saab in Mechanicsburg, PA as well as the dealerships in Wilmington and Raleigh, NC. I was a little sceptical, at first, but it worked out.
 
    Having said that...We bought a Volvo XC90 two years ago using the military sales program AND they credited time served deployed in Afghanistan and iraq to qualify for the "overseas delivery." They credited me the $2k for the trip and the price was unbeatable.
    When it was delivered to the port, the government charged import duties on it. Since the dealership told me, and in writing, that I would nave "no additional charges" they begrudgingly paid the $1700 import fee. I guess they just weren't that familar with the program.
    So, because of that experience, I was very careful about watching the numbers on this lease. I was happy to see they did honor it and I am very happy with the car.

     Congratulations!
 
     I am very happy so far. Of course, I have seen a couple other leases where the price or drive off seemed a little different, but I am overall very satisfied.
 
     The car is awesome. I love the way it drives. We take it in this Friday for the customization just to take care of those little quirks we all have. Thankfully Saab will let you do that on their car. I wonder why other automakers won't? Hmm.
 
     Well, happy Saabing. I just receive my SAABNET.com shirt and license plate holder for my membership.

Saab 9-3 2.0T Lease by hicharlie

Hi Carman,
 
Thanks for this great service. I've already learned quite a bit here. I was wondering if you could provide current money factors and residual values on the 9-3 2.0T? I have been quoted the following:
 
MSRP: 28,920
Base Invoice: 28,204
Lease Term: 27 months
Residual Value: 70%
Money Factor: 4.44% (0.00185)
Saab Rebate: 1,000
Down Payment: 1,000
Monthly: 390.22
 
Does this sound like a reasonable deal to you? I plan to inquire about 36 and 48-month lease terms as well, but would like to know the money factor and residual values beforehand.
 
Thanks for your help!

Hi Steve. If you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Sedan through its captive finance company in February for 24 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be 3.94% and 71%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease should be 3.94% and 60%. In addition to this special lease rate, Saab is providing $1,000 lease cash on this model in certain states. If you let me know which one you are in I can tell you if you qualify for this additional incentive.

You're welcome, hicharlie. I haven't seen this car's 27 month residual value, but I can tell you that its special lease rate for any length lease is currently 3.94%. This is equivalent to a money factor of around .00164. Saab's current residual values for 36 and 48 month, 15,000 mile per year leases of the '06 9-3 2.0T Sedan are 58% and 44%, respectively. I'm not sure why the lease rate that you were quoted is a little higher than Saab's current offering, but make sure to insist that the 3.94% factor is used to calculate your car's lease payment.

Many thanks for the updated figures. I'll make sure to insist on the 3.94% factor as you recommend. Would you happen to have the RV for 12K mile/yr lease for 48 months? (I ready the figures you provided to Steve for the 36 month lease at 12K miles).
 
Once again, thanks for your help!

9-3 Aero Convertible by cgs1238
Feb 22, 2006 (6:28 pm)

I haven't seen much talk about the 9-3 Aero Convertible. I am debating between this car or the BMW 530. I am also debating between the manual and automatic. I live in South Florida and traffic can get pretty bad.
 
Any feedback/experience with a 2006 lease on the Aero Convertible? I would need 15k miles per year and would prefer a 24 month lease.
 
With no money down, what should I expect to pay each month?
 
Lastly, did I read that Saab includes routine maintence with its lease?
 
Thanks
