Great advice for all of us. We need to take the emotion out of this and treat it as a business deal. Because that is what it is. You are buying (or not buying) about 3,200 pounds of steel and four wheels. As much as I love Saabs I am going to keep grinding the leasing company to the last day. The relationship with the leasing company is not like the dealer; sometimes it is worth leaving a few bucks on the table with the dealer if you know you’ll be getting great service and if you can get a few extras thrown in now and again. To the leasing company you are a number and your car is a commodity. If I don’t get the deal I want they can have the car back and I’ll lease a new one.
I think your number of 10,500 is about what the car is worth today. If you pay much more the monthly payments are just too high.
On a separate matter… I just got a notice from Saab saying they want to send someone out to inspect my car prior to the lease being up. Anyone else get this notice??
