End of lease purchase coming up -- any tips?

My lease is coming up toward the end of March, and most likely I will buy my car. (That was my plan from day 1.) I've read tips on this site over the past few years on lease-end, such as trying to negotiate a better buy price with Saab, buying the car back at auction, and having the dealer buy it and then buying it from the dealer for less than the end of lease purchase price. I don't want to go through the hassle of the auction process and risk not getting my car (especially since I'm going to have other things to do...I've got a baby on the way, due 6 days before my lease ends!). I spoke with Saab about 2 months ago, and they claim to have residual insurance. They claimed they weren't willing to negotiate. They also claimed the dealers aren't able to buy the car for less then my buy price.
My question: Has anyone had any luck dealing with Saab lately in getting their end of lease buy price down? Any tips?
Thanks,
Marc
