#209 of 653 Re: I the premium pkg worth it. [chris47] by schoup Dec 16, 2005 (3:21 pm)
Replying to: chris47 (Dec 14, 2005 5:47 am) I don't really want to spend the extra to get the 2006 Aero but I did find a new(45 miles on it) silver metalic 2005 Aero with automatic, heated seats, xenon lights for $29,967(MSRP $36,595) which is less than the loaded 2006 2.0T which is $29,500 (MSRP$32,165) I'm now thinking about getting the 2005 Aero instead.

Replying to: steve70 (Nov 11, 2005 11:18 am) The GMS discount for a 2.0T SportCombi was $643 over invoice. Another $500 off for the Saab Year End Cash Bonus was applied so we paid $143 over invoice.   Not sure if it's the same for an Aero.
#211 of 653 My Inquiring Mind - ?s on servicing Saabs by kk2482 Dec 29, 2005 (6:34 pm)
I've never owned a Saab, and was wondering - is it was expensive to maintain?   Is the dealership the only place where the oil can be changed, and other standard maintenance be done? Is this frequent or rare - and pricy or avg?   Does the Saab 93Linear come with the old style belts or the long lasting steel belts?   Thanks a million!

Replying to: kk2482 (Dec 29, 2005 6:34 pm) I can't comment on long-term costs - we recently bought our first Saab.   The warranty covers “all scheduled maintenance” for 3 years or 36k miles. The service interval is 10k miles and includes a major maintenance cycle at 20k.   Even though they use synthetic oil, this seems like a long interval for a new turbocharged car. The dealer said that most people who own pay to have the oil changed every 5k miles. That’s what I plan to do.   I wouldn’t take the Saab to Jiffy Lube – I’ve seen them screw up far less sophisticated cars. We have a local mechanic who specializes in imported cars and I trust. I will probably take the car there for some of the oil changes not covered by the maintenance plan.

Replying to: kk2482 (Dec 29, 2005 6:34 pm) I looked in the manual for belts. The Drive belt is called a "poly-V" belt - whatever the hell that means. Replies to this message: kk2482 (Dec 30, 2005 5:31 pm)

#215 of 653 Re: Saab military discount?? [dairyshick] by jworthington Jan 03, 2006 (4:43 pm)
Replying to: dairyshick (Nov 12, 2005 8:11 pm) The SAAB military discount is an amazing deal. I am probably going to go with the Acura TL instead of the 9-3 Aero because of 1) size of the backseat, 2) reliability (total cost of ownership and maint costs), and 3) the navigation system in the SAAB sucks.   Having said that. I priced out a loaded, except navigation, for $29,759. There is no room for negotiation but since i offered the dealer in PA to come to him from NC, he was going to take off another $300. The document fee in NC is about $400 while the doc fee in PA is only $55. HARD to pass that one up and the SAAB dealer in Raleigh was not willing to negotiate.   In any way, I would definitely recommend the military sales program for SAAB. Remember, however, that it is not available on the 9-2X or the 9-7.   Jeff
#216 of 653 convertibles by biancar Feb 02, 2006 (8:29 am)
I'm looking at convertibles like the SAAB 9-3, the new Volvo C70, and perhaps the Audi. Any comments on price, fun to drive, reliability, etc. of the convertible?
#218 of 653 Too good of a deal?? by ukjim Mar 17, 2006 (1:28 pm)
I would appreciate some commments on the deal I am being offered on the following vehicle: Silver 9-3 Aero Convertible (black top) 2004 (sold in Jan of '05) 18000 miles Two tone gray leather int Multi Player in-dash CD Condition appears to be excellent all round with the exception of some scuffing of the passenger side A pillar and the expected wear of the seats. Carfax comes back clean. Asking price is non negotiable $30K. I am not getting a great price for my RX8 but perhaps it is offset by the price of the Saab. Whatcha think?
