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...

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: stkntraffic (Jul 07, 2008 8:34 am) Anyway used car market data says it all, look at the depreciate rate. If you were a 05 Saab owner, ask yourself how much is your car worth in the market now? Emunds, craigslist have all the data to prove it. Wake up folks.

Replying to: saablcp (Jul 08, 2008 6:16 am) the buyers to stay away unreliable car, that's what emunds for. And here comes another big american, yes, I am not american and I don't need to speak native tongue to afford a bmw or mb. My US company is paying me well here as a 'business analyst' because my ivy mba. I'm sitting here, have my donuts and coffee, run some numbers, then here comes the monthly paycheck that is enough to buy a brand new civic, plus the bonus at the end of the year. I wouldn't call it a wealthy life yet but enough to cover my luxury needs. |
