Not sure how that compares to MB and BMW, I would > think it's in the same neighborhood. BMW has 3 year leases at excellent rates, as does Saab, as does MB. In 3 years (36k miles or so), a Saab will lose about 50% of its value, BMW about 40%, MB about 30%. Unless there is something wrong. If you are buying used, and drive your cars into the ground, if you consider, insurance, repair bills, gas mileage and cost to buy, Saab is an incredible value.
