Where do you get your information from?? Is it public information that consumers can look up or are we at your mercy?? There are several vehicles I'm looking into, Saab 9-7 being one of them, but I don't want to go into each of the forums and ask you about the latest programs, money factors, yada yada yada....
Let me know, otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to pester you!!!
Thanks!!!
The 9-7X is not a very popular truck. There's nothing really wrong with it, but in my opinion there are a lot of other trucks out there that one can lease for a similar payment that I would personally rather lease.

When negotiating your lease on this truck make sure to take the $1,000 lease cash that Saab is currently providing on it into account. If you are interested in a unit that has been in dealer inventory since December 15th or earlier, there is an additional $750 bonus cash that you can use to your advantage. These cash incentives will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.

I was wondering if you could mention a couple of the other alternatives out there for similar pricing which you feel are better vehicles/deals?
Also, I am weiging two choices: A 2006 97-x with 6k miles that was an "executive" vehicle/ It's list is about $42k, but I amoffered it for $28,118.
Choice two is a 2007 with a list of 41,235 that I can buy for $34,300.
Which do you think is a better offer?

I usually use www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm as my calculator.

What residual and finance numbers are you using for that?
Also, without getting too far off topic -- any SUVs / XUVs you find to be extremely good lease deals at the moment? (Noticed that you recommended the Toyota 4Runner and Acura RDX above).
2007 Saab 9-7X 5.3i
27 mo.
15K miles @ yr.
no money down [other than usual acq. fee, 1st mo. rent, $450 GMAC security deposit, tags, doc. paid in cash]
additional options: factory installed navigation, dealer installed mud flaps and back up radar sensors.
cost per month including NYC/NYS sales tax of 8.375%: $444
Interesting, the top of line Honda Pilot with Navigation was quoted 24 mo. lease at $689 plus tax and the 36 mo. lease at $531 plus tax, both 15K miles @yr. And can't match the handling of the Saab, as the Honda has the tires of a toy bicycle, and NO OnStar.
Any information on current 24 month and 36 month residuals for the 9-7x 5.3i? Just trying to ballpark the numbers and I can guestimate the money factor, but even after leasing cars for the past 15 years, the residuals still remain a mystery (and at least for the 8 vehicles I've leased, have no relation to the actual fmv of the vehicle at the end of the lease!).
Also, if I'm not taking advantage of your good nature, are the residuals similar GMC Envoy and Buick Rainier? If the residuals are the same, then it seems one would be better off going with the Envoy or Rainier since the cap cost is bound to be lower.
Thanks for the invaluable resource!
As far as other luxury SUVs that have attractive lease programs available on them right now go, the '07 Lexus RX 350, '07 Infiniti FX35, and '08 Mercedes-Benz M-Class come to mind off of the top of my head.

Call 1 800 SAAB USA for important program details and limitations.
My question is. Do any of the current rebates apply? Currently $5000.00 I spoke to a dealer in Phoenix, Lund Cadillac Saab and he told me they do not. I had always read to negotiate the price of the vehicle even if you are leasing.
Also I called the 1800 SAAB USA number listed under the lease fine print if you have any further questions call that number. I did and they referred me to Saab Financial, who said they no longer do lease finance, call GMAC no help there either.
I did go to the incentive site at Edmunds.com and it said under the lease section of incentives for Saab 9-7x, "Dealer participation may vary. Incentives and Rebates are provided subject to the terms of our Visitor Agreement." What does that mean?
Any help is appreciated.

speak with the sales manager and tell him that Mr. Shelly Jacobs recommended you [no, get no fee or commission from them].
Own the 2007 9-7X 5.3 for past month, absolutely terrific vehicle! If driving on highway at a steady 70 to 75 MPH figure on getting only 15 mpg, but takes regular 87 grade gas. Also, spend $30 and replace the std. wipers with the new Michelin Radius [at Walmart] or new Michelin Optimum [at Target], same superior wipers with different names per store, and do spend another $395 for the dealer installed backup radar sensor.

I am thinking of leasing a 2008MY 9-7X 4.2i.
Terms: 24 or 27 months, 10k or 12k miles per year.
Can you tell me what are the money factors and residuals for the above terms?
Also, what are the Saab incentives for leasing?
Thanks so much for your help!
Sam
PS. Just want to let you know that you have been a great asset to us in our negotiations with the dealers.

I currently have an '06 9-7x whose lease expires next month. Buy out is $27k (ridiculous). Do you know if GM negotiates the buy out price??? If I could get a heck of deal there, I'll just keep my '06....then again, I'd probably want it for less than $20k!
Thanks again.
Amy
Your leased 9-7X certainly is not worth its official purchase option price. It is difficult to say whether GMAC will be willing to work with you on its end of term purchase price. The only way to find out for certain is to give them a call. Sometimes lessees who have no luck with their initial contact at a bank are able to get better results by working their way up the ladder to a manager. Give it a shot, you don't have anything to lose by asking.
