#623 of 653 Re: Aero [jayrider] by keitho8 Aug 30, 2009 (8:52 am)
Replying to: jayrider (Aug 30, 2009 8:09 am) Thanks for your response and advice, much appreciated. So if I understand correctly, go to max, $19800 but $19000 would be a good deal. I'm just trying for a good price while GM are in financial trouble and before Saab goes to another owner. I looked at getting a new one but the price is a bit high, the payments etc. Besides I think you need a high credit score to buy new now adays? Sorry to ask but 17300=2500? What is the 2500 please?

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 30, 2009 8:52 am) Splitting the difference between the asking price and your lowball offer. Paying 19k for a used saab is not a good idea.They are not cheap to maintain and repair. Look at subaru sedans, ford fusion, chev malibu,hyundai sonata, nissan altima/sentra, toyota camry/corolla, if you don't need leather than you can get in a brand new car for less than 18k. VW golf and Jetta are great deals if you like euro brands.They have ads for jettas at 15k with a stick. The best thing you can do re your credit is to go to a credit union and see what you can get pre-approved for in a loan. The dealers will kill you in interest if you are not careful.

Replying to: jayrider (Aug 30, 2009 10:27 am) Thank you. Don't mean to go off topic but, my employer doesn't have a credit union. I thought dealers work out a good interest rate? So I figured instead of me getting pre approved and lowering my score a bit, it would be best for them to apply first. I'm looking at Saabs because of their 6yr warranty.

Replying to: keitho8 (Aug 30, 2009 11:54 am) If you like the 6 year warranty you'll love hyundai's 5 year bumper to bumper and 10 year power train. Test drive the sonata. Great deals. Good luck.
#627 of 653 Sonata? Are you kidding? by r34 Sep 03, 2009 (7:03 pm)
You are comparing a Sonata with a 9-3? I may be ok or as "good" as an Accord but I don't want to keep it for more than a month. People who are looking for a Saab is not looking for daily commute. It is a fun car to drive.
#628 of 653 Couple more things by r34 Sep 03, 2009 (7:11 pm)
You can find independent shop specialized in Saab/Volvo repairs (much cheaper than what the dealers charge).   I bought my first Saab new in 2001 but I kept buying CPO Saab after that. My CPO Saabs were more reliable than my "new" Saab (esp the 9-5 Aero). You can save a lot by buying a used Saab but you really need a warranty (its CPO is a $0 deductible one, not like Audi or BMW).
#629 of 653 anyone had any luck buying their car at the end of a lease by starbird Sep 10, 2009 (7:17 pm)
My 06 93 sportcombi lease is up next month and GMAC want 18K for it (with 39K miles on the clock). I've seen 07's cheaper than this and with less mileage so has anyone had any success in getting GMAC to lower their end-of-lease price and if so, how did you do it?
#630 of 653 Best Price on 2006-07 9-3 with 30k miles? by sigamy Sep 15, 2009 (7:48 am)
I'm looking for a used 2006 9-3 with around 30k miles. I see these listed for around $16k. What is the best deal I can expect to get?   I'm thinking of offering $13,500 OTD. Is that doable?   I like the 2007 with updated interior but may be out of my price range. Any other reasons to go up to 2007 from an '05-'06? Replies to this message: starbird (Sep 16, 2009 1:22 pm)

Replying to: sigamy (Sep 15, 2009 7:48 am) There is supposed to be extra sound proofing as well but I couldn't really notice the difference.
#632 of 653 2007 9-3 by tgozdalski1 Sep 21, 2009 (4:05 pm)
I gave 500 deposit for 2007 saab 9-3 final otd cost $15,500 in Austin TX. Black with tan leather interior. $14,400 base price 190 total fees 6.25% tax. 34,450 miles 6 speed manual transmission one owned per carfax. Standard equipment with sunroof. Original purchase date april 2007. I called local saab dealer and they told me I do not have to do anything to transfer warranty. My understanding is the car has a balance of up to 4 years or 50k miles bumper to bumper and 100000 miles or 5 years powertrain warranty. Can anyone be so nice and confirm my warranty?
