Obviously, I have no idea what the actual resale will be...
 
But, usually, the highest-priced trim lines depreciate the most, percentage-wise, compared to the purchase price. Take a model that is selling closer to MSRP than it's dowdier siblings, and I think it's almost a sure bet.
 
If the Turbo-X turns out to be the most popular Saab, ever.. maybe it will be the exception.. but, that's not the way the smart money would bet.
 
I do agree, though... if that's the car you really want, no point in waiting on it..
 
regards,
kyfdx

New 08 9-3 convertible msrp 42k offered for 31k. It's a firesale -- I think they are dumping them.

I don't know if it's a firesale by the dealers... It's just that GM has put massive incentives on the cars... Most dealers need the same margins as always, just to stay in business..
 
The local ads in Cincinnati have '09 $35K MSRP 9-3s going for $9K off MSRP..
 
That's a lot of car for $26K!!

FYI, I checked into some of these 10k+ deals, and they're all service loaner cars with 2000-10000 miles on them being sold as "new". So, these aren't your brand new off the lot 2008 models. There were some that had fewer miles than others, but I didn't see any at my dealer that had less than 2k miles

Well.. .in the latest ad, it's an '09, not an '08... They may be demos..
 
Since I'm not buying one, I'm not likely to check it out...

If you check eBay, one South Carolina dealer has a white 9-3 2.0T listed for $22,999, which is pretty much a deal in my book.
 
At those prices, the 9-3 is competing with the Accord, Camry, and Altima...

I paid $17,450 for '07 2.0t Anniversary with the CPO and 19,000 miles. I think I got a good deal.

Looking for 2008 9-3 2.0T Sportcombi manual by netdude

If anyone sees an ad or drops by a dealer with a new 2008 9-3 2.0T 6-speed manual Sportcombi, don't hesitate to post details! This is the standard transmission for all Saab 9-3s, but, this is a hard car to find! Everyone seems to prefer automatics these days . I am in the Los Angeles area, but, can go wherever the deal is. I saw one in Massachussetts that was almost perfect except it had the parchment interior . Why would Saab make a parchment interior for a car whose main purpose is utility?
 
The dark exteriors are really the only ones I'm interested in the order of preference:
1. Titanium Gray Metallic
2. Nocturne Blue
3. Black
 
Thanks

I know what you mean about automatics, it was tough finding a "manly" manual out there. Finally found the one I wanted and these threads are right, you can get some good deals now with the GM kickbacks to the dealers. I picked up a brand spanking new 2008 Aero Convertible with a sticker price of over $49K (whatever) for $36K and I probably paid $3K more then their best deal but it was the car I wanted so I stopped the madness and settled at that price. White, tan top, Nav, 6 speed MANUAL, Sport Leather, Cold weather package, and 255 horses...

I have been shopping around for months for my next Saab in anticipation of my lease ending (current 9-3 Aero that is not worth the buyout price); Some of the deals I've found ..
 
1) Brand new *0* miles 2008 9-3 Aero SS with c/w and touring package, 6SPD man, black, $27,000 out the door.
 
2) Brand new 2008 9-3 Turbo X SS (less than 50 miles) w/6SPD and c/w pkg $32,600
 
3) 2008 Turbo X SS with c/w and touring pkg, 11,000 miles, $27,500
 
4) And a brand new 2008 9-3 Aero convertible, $32,500
 
Personally, I think I am going with the used Turbo X. I'd rather have the new one, but $5000 is still a substantial amount of money to me. And with the 4yr/50k warranty period (and 10/100 powertrain + 3yr/36k free maint), I am hoping for the best.
 
Opinions welcomed - if anyone wants to know where I found the other deals I'll gladly share after I make my purchase (next few days).
