You are doing ED on your Saab convertible? Is that in Trollhattan?
 
Did you do the deal in Lexington? Blackhorse?

Picking up in Trollhattan, dropping off in Gothenburg via Oslo, Lillehammer, Svag(?), Upsalla, Visby, Copenhagen and Skagen.
 
Quantrell Cadillac, Volvo, Hummer has had the Saab franchise for about a year. Ours is there first ED sale. Our saleslady actually works Volvos, but handles all of their EDs. She said Saab was much better to work with than Volvo.
 
I'm hoping Swedish and Danish beaches with a Saab Convertible are just as nice as Switzerland with a BMW.

We're starting to get antsy, we leave Friday. Tourist information from Denmark indicated that all Danish beaches are clothing optional. I do not know if that is a good thing or scary.
 
Skagen sounds like the Danish Key West. Our only concern is sleeping with 20 hours or more of daylight.

Clothing optional...
 
If I'm looking.. it's good
 
If I'm participating... It's not so good...
 
I find drinking heavily helps me fall asleep... no matter what it looks like outside..
 
Sounds like a great time... and getting a new droptop won't hurt, either...
 
regards,

I'm not so sure that looking is always good. Local wines and beers are always part of cultural investigations, though, which might help some looking.

Continuation of #176
 
Delivery experience. Saab provides transportation to the delivery center which is a Saab Dealer in Trollhattan. The car is under cover in a large garage area. We forgot to look at the Saab store for individual items. Saab provided a very good European Road Atlas and gave us a Saab key ring. Time in and out was less than an hour. Draw with BMW.
 
Car condition at delivery. Car was detailed perfectly, but only had 3/4 tank of gas and had 1.3 miles on the trip odometer. Advantage BMW
 
I expect the car to be delivered in excellent condition in 6-8 weeks. Saab's overall experience is better than BMW's, but the difference is not enough to determine which car to purchase. Also, restaurants we found in Sweden, Norway and Denmark were better than the restaurants we found in Germany, Switzerland, France, Ireland and England 3 years ago.

It was stated in a message that BMWs are discounted 7% for the ED program, but the message also said that the sticker is negotiable.
 
Does this mean that I can do better than the 7%?
 
Thanks, JEFF

Yes. Our 530i was discounted another $1000. Others here have talked about $1000 to $1500 over invoice depending on model.
