#601 of 653 Re: Buy Extended Warranty or Not? [yuyund] by jayrider Aug 05, 2009 (8:33 am)
Replying to: yuyund (Aug 02, 2009 1:04 pm) Find out what the exclusions are on the policy and see if the problems you've had are covered.I bet the problems you listed aren't covered or can be fixed for less than $200. Then factor in the $200 deductable. Have your car checked by a reliable independent import mechanic and see if he recommends an extended warranty. Figure 5 visits for work in 3 years. Add the 1k to the $2150 for 3150 which you now have to spend on service and repairs before you break even.
#602 of 653 Sabb 9-3 $17100 by keitho8 Aug 21, 2009 (2:16 pm)
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? Replies to this message: pas914 (Aug 21, 2009 6:30 pm) keitho8 (Aug 21, 2009 6:44 pm) kyfdx (Aug 22, 2009 7:50 am)

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 21, 2009 2:16 pm) That's a horrible deal for an '06 with 30k+ miles .. do some searching around and look at 2007/2008 models with less miles -- most will be in the same price range.   Best of luck ..

Replying to: pas914 (Aug 21, 2009 6:30 pm) I have looked around and there seems to be only a few CPO Saabs here in Miami. (35144 miles on the car) I forgot to mention this car has a sunroof and the premium audio package? Edmunds values the car at $15244 plus tax, fees etc 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) Between the CPO and the tax, you are probably looking at $2000.... Even $15K seems a little pricy..   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? Replies to this message: kyfdx (Aug 22, 2009 2:28 pm)

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 22, 2009 11:05 am) I'd say that point is up for debate...   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.

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 23, 2009 11:22 am) You've obviously taken a liking to this car and now you WANT it to be a good deal. The truth is, its not. Do a search and look around. Use all of the major used car sites - v e h i x, a u t o t r a d e r, etc (search within ANY mile radius to get a good idea of what the cars are going for) .. you can get a car with SIGNIFICANTLY less miles and at least a year newer (less miles, newer model yr = more factory warranty remaining) for the same or less money.   Do yourself a favor and look around. I'd offer $14k for the car you are looking at - maybe a few bucks more if it was an Aero, but for a 2.0T??? No way I'd go over $14k for a 30k+ mi '06 4cyl 9-3 .. SHOP AROUND!
