#38845 of 38925 2007 Saab 9-3 convertible by krwest1 Nov 13, 2009 (12:04 pm)
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.....

Replying to: krwest1 (Nov 14, 2009 4:15 pm) That Saab could have stickered into the 40,000 range though it didn't sell for that.   Is it an anniversary edition? They had the nicer Aero style seats, wheels and spoiler but without the stupid turbo V6.
#38851 of 38925 2006 Toyota 4Runner by sebring95 Nov 16, 2009 (2:16 pm)

#38852 of 38925 I know this is off topic, but... by uga91 Nov 17, 2009 (6:41 am)
I thought the point of this board was "What can I expect on a trade when I trade for a new car?" I didn't think the point was "This dealer has had this 20xx whatever for a couple of months...what do you think he paid for it so I can get it for that?"   I'm not in the car business; but, why does everyone hate the thought of a car dealer making money? Isn't every business in business to make money? Do you care what Wal-Mart paid for paper towels or LCD TVs? Pay what they want, come to a reasonable agreement or move on. Why does it have to be a battle?   Thanks for the vent.
