2005 Saab 9-3 2.0T Sedan. 48, 000 miles. The factory warranty will expire in the end of Aug 2009. The dealer is offering bumper to bumper extended warranty: $1,680 for 2 year or 24,000 miles, plus $200 deductible each visit, or $2,125 for 3 years or 36000 miles, +$200 deductible each visit. I have owned this car for less than 1 year and have been to dealership 4-5 times for little mechanical or electronic problems here and there, including window won't come up, check engine light was on, lights burn out, door rattling noise, radio problem, AC vent broken, taillight losening, antanna crack, taillight falling, etc. I like the driving experience this SAAB has brought to me. But the little problems are annoying. Has anybody experienced any more severe/expensive problems for a 7-8 years old 9-3? Should I buy the extended warranty? Or should I just sell this car and get a more reliable car? Any thought will be welcomed! Thanks.

A large newspaper reporter is looking to speak to consumers who went from owning a luxury car (BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, etc.) to a premium non-luxury vehicle recently. If you purchased the vehicle using the Cash for Clunkers program, please let me know as well. Please send your daytime phone number and the vehicle you own to ctalati edmunds.com by Wednesday, August 5.

Hi carman, Hi kyfdx, Need some advice please. I've been looking at a CPO 2006 Silver Saab 9-3 with 35144 miles on it. It has sunroof and premium audio package. The dealer's advertised price is $16995 + tax, fees, and registration. I'm trying to get the price down. He's saying he can't go down lower than $17100 all in, out the door price. Is this a good deal?

Replying to: pas914 (Aug 21, 2009 6:30 pm) His price is $17100 including tax and fees with the CPO warranty. What would you say is a good price for this car? Your help is much appreciated.

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 21, 2009 6:44 pm) I see '07 models at asking prices of $17K... They wouldn't be CPO, but with a little negotiation, you could probably get out the door for the same amount as your '06... Since an '07 is a year newer, you get more use out of the original warranty, offsetting some of the value of the CPO warranty on the '06.. I'd expand your search to include non-CPO cars, and use that as a measuring stick against your deal... that will also open up a lot more choices... regards, kyfdx |

Thanks. I was under the impression that a CPO of 2006 would be a better buy.. The warranty is for 6years or 100k miles?

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 22, 2009 11:05 am) I'd rather have the non-CPO '07 at the same price (assuming it can be done), but that's just one opinion.. I guess my main point... is that if you entertain that alternative, it's going to quadruple the number of cars that you can consider... giving you a better chance to get a better deal.. regards, kyfdx |

Thanks kyfdx. I have suggested to him $16800 all in, out the door price, CPO. If he accepts that price for this model and year, would I be doing good or bad please? According to Edmunds pricing I'm not sure.
