Replying to: mherr05 (Nov 09, 2009 12:32 pm) Like i said in previous post -- put in 07 not 08. But the key is not what folks are asking for them -- it's what they actually sell for. Auction prices are for dealer eyes only --- you would do better selling yourself -- hassle and time consuming but it will pay off. If you are upside down on what you owe, then it might pay to keep it a while. Good luck. Replies to this message: dbt (Nov 11, 2009 6:45 am)

Florence, SC 2007 Saab 9-3 convertible 2.0T 6 speed manual Only option appears to be cold weather package 38,000 miles Silver ext./Grey int.   I haven't seen it in person, but it looks to be in good condition from the pictures. I don't think it's CPO.   Dealer is asking $17,000. Thoughts?

Replying to: krwest1 (Nov 13, 2009 12:04 pm) Thoughts like, the high miles? The non-CPO? The iffy resale value, & reliability, of saabs? If it was really low miles, & plenty of warranty left, well that would be better at least....

Replying to: woodyww (Nov 14, 2009 12:34 pm) Jay/Woody, I appreciate your thoughts and agree with you. Quite a few of the others I've seen are off-lease cars and I think they had a 27 month lease special in the summer of 07. So, if this is one of those, then it has at least 18 months and 12,000 miles of warranty left. This thing stickered for upper-30s when new, so it's already taken a large depreciation hit. If I was planning on keeping it about 2 years and driving about 5k miles per year, it couldn't cost me too much, could it? The comparable CPO ones I've seen have asking prices at least $5k higher.

Replying to: krwest1 (Nov 14, 2009 4:15 pm) If I was planning on keeping it about 2 years and driving about 5k miles per year, it couldn't cost me too much, could it?   I'd probably search ebay to see what 4 y.o. saab converts w/no warranty are going for. I'll guess 1/3 more depreciation in 2 yrs., & I can almost hear what dealers are going to say about trading in a used saab w/no warranty. Which is not to say, to not buy one if it's what you really want. Just seems like it's kind of a dying brand.....
