#172 of 652 Saab 9-3 Linear Price in NJ by fatray Jul 20, 2005 (7:44 am)
Just had a question. Was quoted $26,100 for a 9-3 linear with automatic, sunroof, and heated front seats with TTL extra. However, was also told about GMAC Smartbuy, which in the end would bring the total payments to $23,500, basically paying around $350 per month for 36 months, $1000 down, with a payoff of about $10,000 with the final payment. I don't know much about the GMAC Smartbuy, but that is almost an additional $3000 off?!?! Any thoughts. I was ready to just finance the $26,100, which I think is a good price. Is that a good deal too? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jul 20, 2005 7:52 am)

Replying to: fatray (Jul 20, 2005 7:44 am) Just guessing.. but, it is possible that the interest rate on the Smartbuy is fairly high... like maybe 7.9%.. and so, they give an additional rebate for signing up for that interest rate, which is then deducted from the sale price..   You'd have to do the math, to see which is the better deal..   Can you turn your car in at the end of the 36 months.. just like a lease? If so, that wouldn't be a bad way to go...   regards, kyfdx

Replying to: blane1417 (Jul 15, 2005 7:00 am) If those are the only options that price is high the MSRP for what you listed is $32,670 including destination. Take the MSRP and knock off 9.1% that gives you the GM employee price then take the rebate of $2000 off and that is a initail quote...then start your negotaition. From what I've been getting as quotes that's how it seems to be working. The Residual of 49% and money factor are good. Also, watch how they are calculating your cap cost, some dealers will try to screw you with that if you don't know what your doing
#175 of 652 Got my 9.3 SS by Hacksaw Jul 30, 2005 (6:28 am)
Here's my breakdown on the 9.3 Linear:   $24331 - car (new with only 7 miles) $1283 - auto $452 - metallic paint (smoked beige -- looks gray) $430 - heated seats $1032 - moonroof $850 - dest & dealer fee ($720 dest + $130 prep) SubTotal = $28378 LESS $2500 rebate on purchase (Pennsylvania) Total = $25878 + tax/tags   We financed $20k with payments of $377/mo for 5 years.   There wasn't much availability on th 9.3 and dealers are few and far between here. They weren't willing to negotiate beyond the employee price nor did they try to tack on any extra fees (the $850 is what's specified by GM).
#176 of 652 GM Employee Pricing Extension and Rebates on ARC by srn3 Aug 02, 2005 (10:42 am)
I am looking to buy a 05 'Arc. The price of an Arc on GM's website under the Employee Pricing Program (Which has been strecthed till the 6th of Sept) is $26,253. Does anyone know whether any additional dealer rebates are still available (the $2,500 rebate mentioned in earlier posts)? What are the chances of picking up one below the Employee Price?
#177 of 652 Purchasing a 2005-2004 Saab 9-3 by escalante1 Aug 04, 2005 (4:58 am)
Hi. I am considering purchasing a saab 9-3 and wanted to get some advice as I don't really know anyone who owns one. I was wondering how mechanically reliable is a 2004 or 2005 9-3? And if it breaks down are repairs/parts expensive. Also would you consider it to be an overall good car.    Thx, your help is very appreciated.

Replying to: escalante1 (Aug 04, 2005 4:58 am) Hello, I'm on my 3rd Saab 80, 86 and 93...they used to be great cars and very comfortable....but I hear reliability has suffered since GM took them over...I think they are finally getting back to being a good choice though and I'm thinking about a new one.... my 93 conv has 124k and keeps running and running with regular maintenance...did have to replace the manual tran at about 115k...they are expensive to get fixed though at a Saab dealer as Saab parts are expensive.... sobstoe

Replying to: escalante1 (Aug 04, 2005 4:58 am) Horrible real world resale value makes Saab a much better buy used. On the regular 9-3 thread there have been posts about the 99-02 9-3 being a better built car. before buying try to locate a local independent mechanic who will work on a Saab. If you do buy, use autobarn dot com and order some Brembo brake rotors, Brembos even make hum-drum Taurus much more fun to drive. Ebay usually has nice selection of Saabs, also autotraderonline. Good luck.
