#68 of 75 2008 9-5 lease and rebates by shorebound Jun 08, 2008 (3:26 pm)
I'm looking at turning in my 2006 9-5 at lease end and getting a new 2008. Does anyone know what the residual is for a 27 month lease and what rate GMAC is currently using? Also, Edmunds indicates a $2500 Mfg to Dealer rebate. How do I get the dealer to part with that?

Replying to: shorebound (Jun 08, 2008 3:26 pm) The $2,500 dealer cash can only be used against a purchase.This question is raised on an ongoing regular basis. Question to the moderators and editors of this site:When are you going to clarify this point and point out the fact that in most cases these rebates and incentives can not be combined?

Replying to: shorebound (Jun 08, 2008 3:26 pm) I am also about to lease a 2008 9-5. Let me give you some quick tips.   The $2500 cash to dealer, and the current Saab $1000 bonus cash are NOT valid on leases.   In April, Saab did have a $1000 lease bonus. I am waiting for that to come back. I am hoping for a July 4th sale of some kind.   Also - The only way to lease a Saab (if you can afford it) is with GM's SmartLease Plus program. Using this lease, you prepay the entire lease up front - it's also known as a "One payment lease". The benefit is a lower lease rate. Right now the standard lease rate (27 Month) is 3.35%. Using the SmartLease Plus, the rate drops to 1.75%.   Buying additional miles upfront is much less expensive than buying them at lease end.   Saab has a current Pull-Ahead program in effect. They will pay up to 2 remaining payments if you turn your current Saab in early. This was 6 months back in December - so the number of payments is subject to change.   Saab has a 174 day supply of vehicles (as of 04/30/08) so incentives have no where to go but up.   There are several new 2007 9-5 units out there with manual transmission at discounts ranging from 12000 to 15000 dollars!   Good luck with your transaction.

Good accurate advice on all accounts except the '07 info.$15K. is wayyyyyyyyy high.Max purchase cash back is on the 9-3 conv't. $6k....strip out all dealer margin including holdback,add owner loyalty and on a non-loaner you'll top out at about $10,500.00 and leasing through GMAC is not available on an '07 anyway.

Replying to: airpower (Jun 11, 2008 7:20 am) My Saab dealer is quoting me 4.35% APR on a 39 month lease; does this sound right or are they marking things up? Replies to this message: airpower (Jun 25, 2008 8:34 am) Car_man (Jul 11, 2008 1:58 am)

Replying to: saablcp (Jun 11, 2008 11:52 am) This Saab 9-5 is available for $15,000 off the sticker:   New 2007 Saab 9-5 Aero: $42,915 MSRP   5 Speed Manual Sedan 4 Cylinder Turbo 2 wheel drive - front Fusion Blue, VIN YS3EH45G673510947   Barry's Middletown, Inc. 1-866-503-6403   He has three more available at less 10 to 12K. Keep in mind that the discount is more like $ 16200 compared to the 2008 model as the manual transmission was made a "no cost" option.

Replying to: groundhog6 (Jun 17, 2008 11:15 am) 27 Month is the current sweet spot.   Keep in mind with a 39 month lease you are probably going to go through a set of tires which will add about $500 to your lease.

Replying to: groundhog6 (Jun 17, 2008 11:15 am) Hey groundhog6. The lease rate that you were quoted is slightly high. SFSC's current base lease rate for the 2008 9-5 is 3.35% for consumers who pay a security deposit at lease signing.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
