Replying to: scaredtobuy1 (Jun 22, 2009 5:53 pm) Nissan has the Sentra reborn as a much larger car with a very good interior, light years better than previous Sentras of even five years ago. Current Sentra is almost identical in exterior size and interior dimensions as the Saab 9-3. Sentras with the 170 and 200HP engines are faster than the Saab 9-3. Also consider these advantages: * much more mechanically reliable * much, much better resale * better real world fuel mileage * no stress on you. Nissan will be around in the years ahead, Saab may not be and even if Saab stays in business it could leave the American market as Peugeot and Renault (twice) has done. My local Saab dealer dropped Saab to concentrate on Mitsubishi. Yes.....Mistsubishi. Saab's can never live down their richly deserved reputation of the worst resale value possible and constant mechanical problems.

Replying to: hgershman (Jun 25, 2009 9:39 am) For $22K, it's hard to beat... You can't even buy a 4 cylinder Accord with leather at that price point... |

Replying to: observer22 (Jul 01, 2009 12:31 am) I never realized how awesome 2008-09 9-3's headlights look in the dark: http://hyperleggera.com/wp-content/images/Inline/2008_11_14_Saab_Turbo_X_15.jpg (pic doesn't do it justice, but it's the best I could find). I saw one on the road last night (had never seen one in the dark). Makes me want to buy one even more for the unique headlights. I'd say they trump the Audi R8 which I saw last night too. |

I have recently test driven a Saab which previously wasn't on my short list. I am moving on from a Volvo and did not really want to get back into another luxury car due to the maintenance costs. But as much as I try, I am having a hard time not liking this car. I am concerned about a couple of things after reading several posts in the forum. What will the car be worth in five years relative to what is going on with GMC? Also, what are some prices for routine maintenance? It seems that brake service is pretty pricey. In terms of the cost of the vehicle, it is a 2006 9-3 Convertible with approx. 26,000 miles. The dealer is asking $21,900. Any advice on what I should offer would be appreciated. I would like to get as far under $20,000 as I can. Thanks.

Hi, I was just at a dealers and was looking at the following car: Link to Sticker Information the price on the sticker is $35475, it has Auto/ColdPackage/MoonRoof. I was able to get him down to $30000 with 0.0%, but if i chose to not take the 0% and get regular financing then the price is $27500. i said i would have to think about it (i didn't plan on buying it today anyways) and left. he wanted a $100 refundable deposit but i didn't put any and i think i can still go back and get the same price/car. what do you guys think? good deal? another question, he said the dealership was losing money, why would he sell a car if he was "losing" money? what does that exactly mean? Thanks in advance.
