Hi everyone, I am looking for a bit of advice on a car my wife and I are looking at purchasing. It is a manual transmission 2006 9-3 Sport Combi with ~30K miles and they are asking $16.5K. It has a clean Carfax, new tires and new front breaks (rear are 80%). Based on others in the Mpls, MN area, it looks like a competitive price ~ am I right? Also, it is only under factory warranty until 50K miles, but the dealership offers an extended bumper-to-bumper for ~$1,900 (6 yr or 100K) - based on your experience, is this worth it? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated! |

Replying to: mdenglund (Dec 30, 2008 5:53 am) I've gotten quotes for a similar warranty on my Toyota for well under $1000. I know it's a Saab, and parts aren't exactly cheap, but still. |

Replying to: mdenglund (Dec 30, 2008 5:53 am) At any rate, you've got plenty of miles left on the orig. warranty, & if the car proves to be troublesome, you may dump it by 50K miles anyway. I say pass. |

Replying to: bc13 (Dec 27, 2008 4:14 pm) $20-22k. I'm a big fan of CPO cars, but they have to be at a Ford or Lincoln store to get the CPO program.

Replying to: mdenglund (Dec 30, 2008 5:53 am) So, I'd hit them for some more discount. Or throw the warranty in. Make sure the warranty covers EVERYTHING. I would 100% get the warranty. The price doesn't seem out of line for a European car, provided it is comprehensive coverage. Make sure you LOVE this car. The only thing that drops faster than a 401K is the resale value on a SAAB.
