Actually, resale on audis is not really all that good. Additionally, you can often get a huge discount on new saabs. "losing" $5000 on resale doesn't mean much if you save $7000 up front.

The Saab should be much less expensive up front, even if you get the Aero. I got a new '07 Aero 'combi w/ some options for $27,800. A similarly-equipped Audi (w/ the smaller engine which has 55 fewer hp than the Aero), would still be thousdands of dollars more expensive.

It's great, except:
1) No locking glovebox
2) No valet key--a way to prevent entry to trunk area.
THIS NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.

Considering a 2002 9-3 SE

I'm confused by the HUGE difference between the Edmunds and KBB prices on this model. For a good condition vehicle with 71,000 miles on it KBB lists $9,200 for a private sale while Edmunds says $6,500!
Anybody have any idea what's up with that?

There is a $1000-$2000 difference for my 2001 9-5 Aero too. Most dealers go with KBB (in my case, it is better) or whatever posted on the internet.

i am currently looking at the saab 9-3 2.0 vs audi a4 2.0. i have recently driven both and slightly favor the saab because of more room inside and turbo felt stronger.i would like to hear from some of you who have purchased either of these two cars within the past couple of years and learn how reliable they have or have not been and any other comments you may have.i would prefer to purchase the car and hope to keep it for several years.

I have owned a 9-3 for a few years. I know two people that have had A-4's and both had to replaced the entire transmission and they are expensive as hell. While it may have been dumb luck, that car scares me.
