Replying to: beefa (Apr 07, 2009 6:16 am) 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).

Replying to: pas914 (Apr 09, 2009 1:20 pm) What part of the country are you in? I agree with you for going with the used Turbo-X. I am in PA and shopping for a new or used Turbo-X. Am about to get some prices on new Xs to compare against the used ones that come available. I am with you on the 5K difference. If it were 2K, I'd just get the new one. Good luck with your purchase. Let us know how it went and give us driving impressions after you get it. Thanks!

Replying to: alfaracer (Apr 10, 2009 4:02 pm) While I was on the way down there to close the deal, I got a call back about another car I had been looking at - a black '08 9-3 Aero SS w/cw and touring pkg with 11,000 miles on it AND a CPO warranty - $18,800! If I hadnt rented a car and started the trip to Virginia, I probably would've taken it and saved the $7k+ As I side note, I read your post (on my blackberry) while driving home in my new (well, used - but new to me) Turbo X - it was reassuring to hear someone else shared my opinion about going for the Turbo X instead of the Aero! The Turbo X is awesome, but deep down I know the Aero made better financial sense. |

Good move! That car is a deal at 26K. We were in DC & VA on Thur. & Fri and I was going to look at what is now your X, but didn't get time. Enjoy & good luck! |

Considering a 2006 9-3 Aero (steel gray) with 6 speed Manual transmission and 32,000 miles for $17,000. Only balance of 4 year / 50,000 mile warranty left. Looked at Vehix.com and other sites and thinh this is an ok deal but not spectactular. Tires are new and brakes are over half life. Car looks to be in spotless condition. Concerned with resale value if I have to sell in a few years. Any comments on whether this is a decent price or what expectations should be? Prices seem all over the place on here given Saab's current status. Thanks in advance.

Replying to: blp1 (Apr 14, 2009 8:54 am) FWIW, I had been casually shopping around since Jan, and the prices have certainly dropped quite a bit in the last few months -- most likely due to the state of Saab/GM. Best of luck in your search! |

Replying to: blp1 (Apr 14, 2009 8:54 am) I'd want to see around $15K, if it were me... |

I was perusing this site earlier and it was useful to get an idea of prices - so thanks to everyone who posted. I ended up getting a new 2008 9-3 Sporticombi with the 2.0t, automatic w/ cold weather package for $20.5K (original MSRP = $31.8K, for what that's worth). Wasn't considering a new car, but it was hard to pass up. So far, so good - just hope saab and gm will be in business long enough to honor the warranty...

Replying to: rmy4 (Apr 14, 2009 4:58 pm) Premium Cold Weather Sunroof for $19k. It had 14750 miles. The dealer originally had it listed for 24,900 on the sticker, the internet price was 22,900. (either way, I think he was way too high) I settled on 19k after then told me they absolutely couldn't go any lower (although it was pretty easy to get them to 19k) Since I already bought it, please keep the 'you paid way too much' comments to a minimum.
