SAAB is no worse than other vehicles when it comes to depreciation off the "target purchase price"? I leased a 2000 9-3SE in Dec. 1999. The MSRP was about $34,500. The selling price was just over $32,000. Saab was offering some additional incentives then, around $2000 towards cap. cost reduction on a lease. Today I would be real lucky to get $23,000 on a trade, maybe $25,000 retail although I doubt it. The incentives being offered today are much better than they were 1-2 years ago. So people who bought then are really getting burned by the deep discounting off new Saabs. The fact remains that Saabs do not hold their value as well as some of the other Eurpoean and Japanese brands. Leasing a Saab or buying a used Saab make the most sense.
