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 9:34 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 7:16 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. |

How's the dealing on '08 9-3s these days? Should we be looking for a Saab Clearance anytime soon, like last year? Sales seem to be waaay down across the board this year for everybody...

Replying to: jchan2 (Jul 09, 2008 2:25 pm) I am looking into purchasing a 2008 Saab. Test drove one the other night and it seemed like a great car. Unfortunately the Blazer that I am driving..the transmission is going and I am not sure how much longer I can hold out---or if it is likely that I will see greater deals later in the year. Anyway, I am looking at the 9-3, either the normal or the Aero. From the dealerships around the Detroit Metro area, they are currently offering incentives of 3500 off, I think they mentioned a 500 dollar gas card...and talked about getting financing for 5 years around 5%. I also am planning on using the family and friends GM discount. Obviously the dealers aren't going to tell me...but is this a typical incentive package...or does history demonstrate that they will only get better with time closer to the end of the year? I also asked and was told that the 09's were probably not coming in until late fall. Not sure if I can hold out that long---but if I can-am I likely to see a huge price drop and big savings packages? First real car purchase that I am making myself, doing the research, etc...would appreciate any advice. Thanks |
