You know, I think you are right, I am going to give it another shot. The FX we own is the V 6, not the beast V 8. However, the V 6 nonetheless pulls like a ...
 
As I said, we LOVED the SAAB but for what we perceived as uninspired acceleration. I will call the dealer for another drive and, yes, it is the one with 210 HP that we test drove. Just for the record, I am not a gear head, I don't drive at high speeds or otherwise dangerously but I do like some "umph" off the line.
 
Back to the SAAB dealership it is then! So, how much are others getting off the 9-3 Arc convertible other than the standard GM employee discount?
 
Thanks, Jon.

If you're coming from a big v6, the 4 in the saab does feel weak-- not just because of the slightly lower HP numbers, but because of the turbo lag. Especially with the auto, it takes a second or two to get full power.
 
It's something you might get used to, but if you can wait, the v6 will be a *lot* better. And, although there are good deals on the saabs now, they're not unique--there have been great deals on the 'verts in the past.

Anyone have MF and Residual for the 9-3's? by cls2

Seems like an awful lot of people have leased these this month, but I can't put my finger on the actual numbers. I've dug throught the posts here, but maybe I missed something. Can someone who has leased a 9-3 this month chime in?
 
I'm looking for Residual for 36 mo./10K or 12K and I'd like to know what kind of Money Factor Saab is offering.
 
Thanks

The Saabs are made for highway power. The turbo lag makes them a little sluggish froma dead stop, but they fly when you are moving - and that is what matters most, IMO. Drive it again, and look at the power from 30 - 80+, especially in manual mode

I'm not sure what you mean about not getting incentives if you are financing, unless I am missing something. Which by all means please tell me!!
 
I've been quoted by 2 different dealers, one in MA, and other in FL for 93 Linear:
Sale price $24,416 w/auto trans and the metallic paint which is supposed to include the (1) Employee discount which I was quoted to be $26,894 (MSRP $28,920), and less (2) $2500 incentive (purchase). Your price of $23,900 seems to be in line with the quotes I received for auto trans only.
 
Questions: (1) Has anyone been able to negotiate out of the $500 extra for the metallic paint? (2) One of the dealers in FL also is trying to charge $550 for a "Dealer Service Fee", which is highly inflated. How far down have people been able to negotiate to a "fair" price?
 
(3) Any more insights into the greater incentives GM will have for Saab? These 2 dealers are saying they are running low on inventory for 2005 already.

buy_low,
 
it seems like the dealer that you worked with was willing to negotiate on pricing and such. It seems like you got a very nice price. Would you mind sharing the name of your dealer? Thank you

Where is the $2500 incentive (beyond GM employee proce) coming from? Is it based on lease only? Is it regional?

It is for a purchase, not lease. I don't think its regional b/c I got similar quotes from both the NE and South regions of the U.S. The $2500 less than the GM employee price is supposed to dealer cash.

9-3 Eligible For GM Card Points??? by gringo1
Jun 26, 2005 (10:34 am)

Hi,
I posted this on the 9-2 board also.
 
Anyone know whether Saabs are eligible for GM card points?
 
Since GM is pulling out the stops to sell vehicles, I wonder if GM is allowing GM Card to be used for Saab purchase or lease.
 
Thanks,

Lease Incentives vs. GM Discount on 9-3 by chgogirl
Jun 29, 2005 (8:52 am)

I checked the Saab website yesterday about the GM discount and final cost of the 9-3 Linear, the price is listed as $22681 with the GM discount - does anyone know if this includes the lease incentives that the dealers are offering? Or should I subtract the $2500-4500 from the $22681? And, how can I find out how much the lease incentives really are?
 
I visited a dealer yesterday in Central New Jersey that quoted me the following:
 
Initial Cap Cost $24,872 (Including auto trans and heated seats, and supposedly after discounts and incentives)
Bank Fee $795
Registration $230
Doc Fee $169
 
$753.88 down/$347.38 per month for a 36 month/10,000 mile lease
 
Does this sound okay? By the way, I need your advice quickly, I'm leaving for another dealership at 2:00 eastern.
 
Thanks!
