#215 of 453 Re: Saab military discount?? [dairyshick] by jworthington Jan 03, 2006 (5:43 pm)
Replying to: dairyshick (Nov 12, 2005 9:11 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 453 convertibles by biancar Feb 02, 2006 (9:29 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 453 Too good of a deal?? by ukjim Mar 17, 2006 (2:28 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?

#220 of 453 Just bought a 2006 9-3 2.0t, here is my review by nothanks Mar 29, 2006 (6:47 pm)
I just picked up a 2006 9-3 2.0t and I figured I would shoot you guys a review.   Pros - It's a blast to drive. I have to keep looking at the speedometer to make sure I'm keeping it reasonable. - Great exterior styling. - From what I read from objective sources it's a very safe car. - I assume it will be amazing in the snow like my last Saab. Nothing like brushing some snow off my car and passing by a team of 4 people with shovels and brooms trying to get an Acura going (true story). - I don't understand the complaints about the stereo, the sound is great.   Cons - They replaced the one time leather trim with plastic which is an obvious disappointment. - The leather seats are average. - They could have been a bit more innovative with the controls.
#221 of 453 Re: Saab 9-3 : Buying and owning experience by rong May 10, 2006 (2:42 pm)
Replying to: ams303 (Jul 02, 2004 8:41 am) I leased 9-3 Arc 2003 since August 2003. Although I enjoy to peppy engine and driving experience, I am far from been pleased with the reliability and building quality. I recently leased Passat Wagon 2007 and it is a different world.   Never mind the materials quality which is incomparable to the low GM based SAAB, the building quality is far better. During my 2 ½ years of ownership, I replaced the MFT stereo twice, had problem with the SW which control the sunroof, problem with the SW which control the brakes, had continues engine malfunctions alerts, which found to be false and during the drive I hear all kind of noises that you won’t hear in a German and Japanese car.   I am still enjoying the driving experience, which feels faster and more responsive than my Passat 2.0 and similar engine, but I doubt if I will get another SAAB, when my lease is up.   BTW- I got the car through a GM supplier discount which was far lower than the retail and below invoice. I paid $3.5k down and $320 a month for 48 months including everything, taxes and MV fees. This car is loaded with Auto, Sunroof, cold package, OnStar and convenient package
#222 of 453 SAAB 9-3: no more negotiate? by bearjjj May 25, 2006 (8:25 am)
I am searching 2006 SAAB 9-3 with auto, metalic and cold package in NJ, my company also have supplier discount. However, the dealer only showed me the price is 26500, I wonder if there is still some space to bargain on it?   BTW, DON'T GO PAUL MILLER SAAB in NJ, the manager is very rude, when I asked him if he can give me better price, he even collect all materials and let me go!!!!! So BAD experience.
#223 of 453 Need Advice on Leasing a Saab 9-3 2.0T by lasaab May 25, 2006 (8:50 am)
Hi there Everyone:   Everyone here seems pretty knowledgeable about the 9-3 and I was wondering you could give me some advice on leasing this car since it will be my first car lease on my own.   I'm moving to Los Angeles in 3 days which is where I plan on leasing the vehicle, and I was wondering what the best deals are, what I should expect to pay per month, the financing rates, and residual values for a 24 month lease, with 12k miles per year.   I want to put down as little as possible up front and I also am not interested in the current 27 month lease promotion that they have on their website because when I worked out the numbers it didn't seem like a good deal.   I'm looking for the Saab 9-3 2.0T 4cyl turbo with automatic transmission- other than that I'm not looking for any other upgrades.   Also, when do the 2007 models come out-- will that make the prices on the 2006 models go down? Should I be getting a better deal since I plan on purchasing at the end of the month and during Memorial Day Weekend?   Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!   -Ashley
