If you do around 12K that's fine, but if you get a good initial price (Cap Cost) for the car (around invoice or whatever you consider to be a good deal for a "buy" price), Saab gives great lease rates (money factor, think loan percentages).
IF (a BIG if) they negotiate at lease end, you can still buy and potentially save some *more* money. So, if you are thinking of buying (and financing) you are probably no worse off leasing than buying at lease end, but you could end up saving a grand or two if the lease company negoatiates.
I think most leases on 99 9-3's were through Chase, and threads on this BB indicate they will negotiate. Folks seem to saving quite a bit going this route.
At some point Saab Financial (or Saab Leasing, or whatever they call the leasing company) started doing the leases, and the jury is still out on how much they'll lower the residual in the end.
I'm really hoping they lower the prices as the new 9-3 will be on the streets when my 2000 lease is up.
