#357 of 653 2005 Linear or Arc? by dt1027 Nov 27, 2007 (1:13 pm)
Ok, I’ve decided to buy a Saab and was originally looking at the 2005s, and honestly between the test drives, I almost liked the Linear more than I did the Arc, is there something I’m missing? I know it has less HP and unless you get the premium package (which I would want) a somewhat crappy stereo and no power seats, but it was still a sweet little ride and cheaper. The only downside is that my dealer doesn’t have any Linear’s on the lot, so after some discussion, he just called to tell me if I can do it by the end of the month, he will get me in a Arc for the price of a Linear, so my question to all of you is, how much is reasonable. After doing some looking around, it looked like I could get a 2005 CPO Linear (38K miles) for around 17K, so is that what I should shoot for in a loaded up Arc or is that just unheard of? Any help is appreciated-Thanks! Replies to this message: jchan2 (Nov 28, 2007 4:11 pm)

Replying to: dt1027 (Nov 27, 2007 1:13 pm) It's harder to assess the "value" of a CPO car- the histories of a Linear and an Arc can be two different stories.   However, given that both the Linear and the Arc have the same history, shooting for the same price on the Arc is not uncalled for- you wanted a Linear after all, and had to settle for an Arc.
#359 of 653 Ideas on This Price? by wildginger Dec 07, 2007 (11:24 am)
Received an initial price for an '08 93 Aero with automatic, cold weather package and upgraded leather seats for $37,865. This seems high to me. Dealer has said this is the best price. Thoughts?
#360 of 653 Rebate and incentive question by squiredogs Dec 10, 2007 (2:14 am)
I was originally going to lease a '08 9-3 combi, but have decided to buy. I have the GM "Pull Ahead" offer of $1000, as I have a GMAC lease that's ending. There's the "Fly Home" $500 national offer, and I see there's a $2500 factory-dealer incentive.   Can I get all three, or is there a limit on this?   I'm going today, please help ASAP.   Thanks!

Replying to: squiredogs (Dec 10, 2007 2:14 am) You should be able to get all three, but it might take some skill to get the entire $2500 manufacturer-dealer cash out of the dealership's hands.   Good Luck!
#362 of 653 Installing Roof Rails Question by squiredogs Dec 13, 2007 (3:15 am)
Thanks for the advice above - the dealer was good about the $2500, everything went smooth, except the BS advertising fees, but hey...   Sorry for the cross-post - Just got an '08 Combi that had everything we wanted at a great price. Well, everything except the roof rails... Not the crossbar type rack, just the parallel to the body roof rails.    Can I get these installed by my dealer without butchering our beautiful new car? In other words, would getting them installed at the dealer be as invasive as say, an after-market sunroof?    I'd really like to get the rails to get more of the vibe of our old '02 9-03 hatchback.    Thanks!

The 'Combis with factory equipped roof rails have a structurally reinforced roof .You cannot install them after the fact.On the plus side...the roof rails are useless without the crossbars.All Saab models have as standard equipment brass fittings under the moldings of both front and rear doors to accommodate the crossbars on a "use as needed basis".Buy the crossbars for $150.00 or so and you'll be good to go.

#365 of 653 CPO's by waterdr Dec 22, 2007 (5:17 am)
I purchased my 2003 9-3 in June 2006 as Certified Pre-Owned. I paid $17k for a vehicle with a $32K price tag and it has just 22k miles on it. Came with 4 years left of a bumper to bumper warranty or until 100k miles. I con honestly say that I am very pleased with the decision now 18 months later. CPO is really the way the to go. While the current discounts on a new one is very tempting indeed, this only drives the prices down further on the CPO cars too that are sitting on the lot.   Saabs depreciate faster then any car on the planet in the first few years, then they seem to slow down, because "it's a Saab".   Don't forget about the CPO's.
