The only way you paid too much is if you tried to trade or sell in a few years. If you keep it looking great and well maintained and drive it 6-7 years it will still be worth 3-5k. Since you only paid 19k for it you only lost a maximum of about 15k. A little over 2k per year in depreciation. You are way ahead of the 30-40k buyers no matter what the brand. Almost everything drops to 5k after 7 years including mercedes,bmw,audi. don't go buy advertised prices-check sold prices.

Hey, buckeyegirl2...
 
Are you still in Ohio? If so, what part of the state?

Just wondering... That's not a bad asking price.. You might have a little bargaining room.. There is an independent in Cincinnati that has two '07 sedans... both priced cheaper, but maybe less options..
 
The '06 and '07 models seem to be plentiful..

I just bought a 2008 9-3 turbo X with 14 miles. The car was loaded with Nav, cold weather package, touring package and some really nice floor mats thrown in by the dealer. The car had a sticker of $47,500 and I paid $33,700 out the door. Price included all fees, etc.
At first I was really worried and skeptical because the price was so low but after driving it and falling in love with it I am now pretty happy with the deal!!

Did Saab offer active rollover protection on a 2000 9-3 convertible?

They're plentiful because a lot of them were leased and are now coming off of 2 and 3 yr leases. I wish I had the need for a new car- a used Saab would definitely show up on my short list.
 
In a year or two, the supply of used Saabs will dry up as GMAC canned leasing for Saab sometime in 2008. But, somehow there are plenty of "former GM company cars" being offered for sale at deep discounts.
 
If you can get a dealer to CPO one of those, then you have one heckuva deal.

I'm thinking about getting a new Turbo X. I've been researching the car for the last few weeks or so and I like it a lot.
 
I spoke with a salesperson on the phone who had an automatic X (MSRP $45,305) as well as an Aero XWD (MSRP $41,955). He first went down to $29995 on the Aero, but when I said I was interested in the Turbo X, he asked if he had to bring it down the same price as the Aero to get me to buy it. This conversation had only been a couple minutes long on the phone and he already seemed willing to drop $15k off the price, so with these kinds of deals it's looking like a steal.
 
I'm interested more in a manual, however. There's 1 about an hour away and a few more a couple hours away. Since manuals are cheaper I think I could get one as low as ~$28k if I play my cards right (there's one in the exact configuration I want that's advertised for $29,840 and I think I could go lower especially considering the price wolf6010 got on his fully loaded X).
 
Anyone have any thoughts on this kind of pricing? I know this car is overpriced at or around MSRP (not considering it's uniqueness), but at these prices I can't think of more bang for your buck.
