#433 of 653 we need to be protective of the brand by saablcp Jun 09, 2008 (9:02 am)
Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 08, 2008 8:46 am) I concede the fact that this Saab dealer in question is in fact advertising '08 Saabs at prices which defy economic logic.What I mean by that I attempted to explain by documenting the costs to a dealer on a representative car thereby showing that the advertised price by the dealer was virtually,and on some cars..literally,an absolute zero profit proposition for the dealer.In SMU's case they weren't even creating a potential service customer.The point I would like to make is that this dealership is doing tremendous harm to the Saab brand by selling below any price which would be viable for the stand alone Saab franchise to compete with.It destabilizes the market .Yes,it's a BIG win for the consumer!If customers like SMU really have a sense of brand loyalty,then they should consider patronizing the dealers who are commited to trying to keep Saab viable in the North American marketplace.My apologies for making him the focus of a frustration more reasonably directed at Saab of Downers Mills.Quite frankly,I strongly suspect that they could care less if Saab is still selling cars in the U.S. five years from now,something which I care greatly about.

To be fair, the dealer selling at that price hurts only other dealers, not saab. Saab sells more cars, and more parts in the future, etc...   Those are some amazing prices. A 9-3 for 24K? I mean, wow. An accord EX-L is about the same on carsdirect.

Replying to: saablcp (Jun 09, 2008 9:02 am) If you check out the website, you can see that they also have over 40 units of '07 Saab 9-3s...   My guess is that there was a major incentive from GM to take all of that old inventory....   Either way... Chicago is a cut-throat high-line car market.. I bought an almost new BMW there a few years back.. Well worth the $109 plane ticket and using up a Saturday to save $1500...   regards, kyfdx
#437 of 653 I Will Agree.. by jchan2 Jun 10, 2008 (2:11 pm)
that Chicagoland is a cutthroat car market- both high line and regular line; I remember the '07 Accord clearance last year, several Chicagoland Honda dealers had Accords at prices at least $3000 below what my local Nashville dealers were quoting me.   So many dealers, so many cars, and yet so few buyers.. Hmm.. Shall we apply a bit of supply and demand?   Downers Grove still has all those '07 Saabs? If only I hadn't already bought the Altima...
#439 of 653 buying a Saab?? by joeslacker Jul 06, 2008 (8:20 pm)
Don't people do some research before they even think about Saab? 1. A 3 yr-old 93 convertible with MSRP $40k+ is worth now $15k in the market. 2. It's a US car with a not-even-luxuy-closed sweden logo and unreliable junk. The comparison is clear, a 2006 bmw 325 is still worth $25k plus, a 2006 saab 93 sedan is around $15k. Maybe there is no comparison at all, a truly luxury and sporty brand versus a junk. If you have the budget and look for a luxuy and sporty car, bmw or MB is your choice. Or just buy a GM or honda. Believe it or not, a 3 yr-old civic worths more than your Saab. It's funny that GM put a Saab logo on chevy trailblazer and expect people to pay extra $10k. A '05 trailblazer is selling for $10 or 11 grants, how much do you think a Saab 9-7 could worth, 500 bucks more? Go figure.

Replying to: joeslacker (Jul 06, 2008 8:20 pm) To be fair, almost no one pays anywhere near MSRP on a new Saab, while almost everyone pays very close to sticker on a new BMW.
