My Take: GM is OFFICIALLY run by morons. They introduce the “72-hour sale” last month and they don’t include two of the more “popular” Saabs in their line up. Then they top it off by raising the MF from June. Haahaa. I wonder what they’ll do in August…lower the residual and bump up the MF some more?

Special Note: Normally I don’t bother with Saabs, but I know someone who was inquiring about it recently so I decided to look for the numbers and post them.

24mo/12k – residual 70% – money factor .00181 (4.35%)
27mo/12k – residual 69% – money factor .00181 (4.35%)

$1000 loyalty cash – Ironic since not many people drive Saabs to being with…why not give it to EVERYONE?

My Take: Better cars can be had for the same amount of money or less. I’ve never been a big fan of Saabs, so I don’t think I would ever lease one. But there are folks out there who like their American owned Swedish-engineered rides. Personally, I would rather have an A4 2.0T, Accord V6, Passat, TL or G35, which can be had for about the same or less. Hell, I’ll even take a Camry V6 SE.
