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
You are a tremendous help for us. Would you know the residual value for 27-month, 15K/yr, lease for the 9-3T. Thanks.
about this for MONTHS and have been getting the run around from local saab
dealers and Saab USA. I even wrote a long letter and submitted it to saab at one
of the local car shows and was promised a response. Never heard anything.
Although I've lost confidence in my dealer, I'm still interested in the car. Can
you tell me where you got it or how you worked the deal? I would have purchased
months ago had this all worked out. Thanks for your info!
--Very frustrated in VA,

Like I said in some earlier postings, I had to ask a few dealers. However, David O'Neal Saab in Raleigh had no issue offering me the military price on the lease. I didn't really have to work the deal at all. I went in there to buy a car and we go the military price; really no whiggle room because of the discount. After that, I asked about the lease and that is what they drew up.
GMAC didn't bat an eye. The finance manager didn't bat an eye. No issue from anyone.
Now, I have NEVER paid state property or highway use tax on a car I owned because I have never been stationed in my state of residence. I just found out that with the lease, I have no such benefit since GMAC "technically" owns the car and I am just renting. They don't get the benefit so they don't pass the savings on to me. Oh well.

Similar to Jeff, my dealer (McCann SAAB in Seattle) didn't have an issue with military pricing on lease, I still had to wrangle a bit with them regarding residual values which made a huge difference in my monthly. Also, there may be GMAC cash in a lease, approx 1000$ but I was told it was unavailable with the military discount price. See my earlier post for details on my lease.

I, too, was looking at other vehicles. Quite honestly, if the Acura TL would have a military price I would have easily chosen that vehicle over the Saab. In the end, $4k is $4k. Sorry, Acura.
One thing I did NOT know about a lease was my requirement to pay the state property tax on the vehicle. Military exemptions to that tax (if you are not stationed in the state of legal residence) do not apply because we don't "officially" own the car. I forget if I mentioned this in an eariler post, but I wish I had known that first. $648 over the two year lease.

Is New Hampshire one of those states?
I am trying to get info on leasing a 06 2.0T base model MSRP $26620. By reading past post I have found that I am looking for a money factor of .00164 and an RV of 70%(24 month).
Are there any other incentives I should know about?
At the end of last month my local dealer listed a $299/27month w/ 10k/yr zero down for a base 93 2.0T (I need 15k/yr though). Now they have the same car listed for $24634 (including all discounts and incentives) Any Advice?
Can you please tell me the MF and RV for the following scenarios: Both are 12K/year leases:
24/27 month
36 month
I'm getting a quote for a money factor of 6.84 (.00285) and this seems high. I'm also being quoted RV of 73%(24/27month) 64%(36 month) but with the high MF, the payments are almost $600. Also, are there any cash incentives this month for the convertible?
MSRP = 41565
sell = 40004
due at signing = 1975 incl 1st payment and taxes and tags. No sec dep or acq. fee or cap cost reduction. Payment comes out to 575 incl PA taxes (10% of payment). How does this sound to you?
Thanks for your help. Trading a 2004 BMW 325Ci end of lease.
The lease would be for 36m/10k; here is the breakdown of what I'm looking for:
(MRSP/Invoice)
-Base Car 25900/24424
-Metallic PAint: 550/495
-Premium Pkg: 1895/1706
-Sunroof: 1200/1080
-Cold weather Pkg: 550/495
-Destination: 720/720
-TOTAL MSRP=30815 / TOTAL INVOICE=28920
Thanks for your help!
I was told a while ago that auto finance companies such as GMAC and SFSC no longer offer "leases" in NY. Is this correct? I am currently in a "smart buy" with a 9-2X and am looking to lease the following if I can in NY. Could you help me with residual value & money factor on the following? Thanks in advance!
The lease would be for 36m/12k for the following:
- Base Car: 26900/25367
- Premium Pkg: 1895/1706
- Sunroof: 1200/1080
- Cold weather Pkg: 550/495
- Destination: 720/720
-TOTAL MSRP=31265/29368
Can someone give me an idea of current lease offers on the 9-2x? Any idea what the RV and IR numbers are?
Last question, on any lease is the RV based on MSRP or negotiated price?
Also what's an acceptable APR for someone with very good credit? I've been quoted anywhere from 4.2 to 4.5%
Thanks in advance for your help.
Big Mike
The APR is around 4.5%. Only problem is that there aren't too many incentives right now, so I'm not sure if you can get the car for less than invoice.

A base '06 9-3 2.0T Convertible only has a spread of $1,950 between its full MSRP and dealer invoice price. You are being given over a $1,500 discount on this car, which is pretty good even if it qualifies for the additional $500 incentive. Using these numbers and the aforementioned lease program, I estimate that this car should have a zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $549.

If you were to lease a 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T SportCombi through Saab Financial Services Corp. right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its base lease rate and residual value should be 3.94% and 59%, respectively. As you can see SFSC recently switched from using money factors to lease rates. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.

I am looking at a 2006 Saab 2.0L convertible lease, turning in a Saab 2002 convertible with 2 payments of $552 plus a disposition fee of $350 (total $1454). Apparently I just missed the "turn in waive deal", but here in West Palm Beach, FL they are offering:
"27 month, 12K mile per year lease on the 9-3. Pament STILL at 579 plus tax.
Convertible with Automatic and Premium.
$2250 total out of pocket AND we will take care of your last two lease payments and disposition fee."
The internet sales guy then says "for anything better, he'll need the leverage of having me in the showroom"
How much more do you think they can wiggle?
DrIgor
Monthly Pmt: $350
Money Upfront: $1,840 ($840 came from my trade-in)
Not bad in my opinion as Volkswagen was offering me a 24Mths lease on 2006 Jetta (Manual, no Options) for $352 with $1,000. (No leather, no climate control, no free maintenance). Big thing was the residual difference (69% for Saab VS 62% for VW).
Hope this helps someone.
Lease term - 27 mo., 12K mi./year
Automatic, metallic paint
Moonroof
No other packages
MSRP = $29,720.
My dealer is offering the following: finance rate = 4.94 with RV of around 70%.
This means: $3,500 drive-off and $319/mo., plus taxes.
Any comments? Thanks.
I am looking for the MF and residual for the Saab 9-3 2.0t and the 9-3 Aero for a 27 mnth, 15000 mi/yr lease and a 36 mnth, 15000 mi/yr lease. Any lease incentives for dealers in the Los Angeles area? Thanks in advance.

As far as this specific lease goes, you never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this car's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.

I just asked my dealer what the selling price is, and he told me that it's $29,700. Any thoughts? Seems like he's not cutting me any slack. Again, anything would be very much appreciated.
With no money down, how much should I be paying for a 36 month lease, 12k miles a year?
I am a current saab 9-3 lesee who would be turning in the lease early so I assume that would make me eligible for $500 loyalty but is there anything else? Someone told me something about NY Auto Show bonus cash to local dealers because of the Intl Auto show here in NYC???
Should I just shop around at different dealers to try and get this pricing?? ( I do have access to GM employee pricing)--I'm curious how they figure out the residual value ... :confuse:

344
354
Now can someone tell me what those codes mean? Thanks
354.. Aero sedan
304.. not sure..

I have been reading these posts and you seem to be so incredibly knowledgeable about the Saab 9-3. I am ready to lease the standard 2.0 model with no frills. The True Market Value in my area (Miami, FL) is $25,015. I would like to lease it for 36-months, 12,000 miles per year and put no money, or very little money (ie.$1000) down. What kind of a lease payment should I be looking at? Saab is currently running ads for a 27-month lease, 12,000 miles per year and want $3000 down, which is ridiculous. Any help or advice you might be able to give me would be GREATLY appreciated! I don't completely understand the formulas for figuring out lease prices! Thanks a million!
