Replying to: wolf6010 (Apr 28, 2009 1:33 pm) 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.

The Saab Turbo X was number 4 of the 5 car list that I compiled in order to buy a new car. After the test drive I was hooked, and the car looks awesome!! I thought the Salesman was nuts or the car was a lemon when without making an offer the salesman instantly cut 15K off the MSRP. I left, the owner of a Saab Turbo X with 14 miles and only paid $33,700 and that included all fees (No sales tax here in NH) The Dealership had one more to sell and when I drove thru their lot a week later it was still there and I was shocked. With a sticker of $43 K they wanted under 30K and no one bought it yet. |

Replying to: esobel (May 15, 2009 10:01 pm) One suggestion I would make - don't limit yourself to "local" cars. If you know you like the car and you are buying a NEW Turbo X, you may as well look all over the country. You can usually arrange to have the car shipped for a few hundred bucks -- might even get the dealer to pick up all/part of that. |

Replying to: headsetguru (May 17, 2009 4:39 am) With only 3250 miles its practically brand new - if your wife really loves the car don't let a few $$ get in the way of an already good deal ..

Replying to: pas914 (May 17, 2009 8:26 am) and you're right, at this point the only difference that they could possibly make is a few dollars...thanks for bringing a little clarity

Replying to: headsetguru (May 17, 2009 9:42 am) Either way, for a conv w/cpo warranty I think $24k is pretty good. If it were me I'd walk into the dealership and offer $22,500 or $23000 with check in hand. If they say no, walk out and goto lunch (hopefully they'll stop you or call while at lunch) and then come back and pay their price after a good meal. In the end, you get a great car that you/the wife is happy with (and is covered under warranty), does $15-$20/month on the payment really matter??? Good luck with whatever you decide ..
