Yes, GM is offering a $5000 cash incentive or 0% financing on the 9-2x right now. In addition, a Saab dealer informed me that they have an $800 holdback, so most Boston area Saab dealers are offering $6000 off sticker price. If you are a GM Supplier, then you will have additional leverage.
Check the other 9-2x forums on edmunds for more discussion regarding Subaru vs Saab.
Saab and Subaru repair costs will depend on where you have your car serviced. It's probably best to call your local dealers to get their labor rates and part costs prior to having any service performed. Trust me, you can save a bit of $$ by shopping around.

Do you know if this $1500 rebate for VW owners is still valid?
Thanks

How does $18.8k + TTL sound for a linear with a moonroof?

18.8 souunds alright- I was quoted 18,500 for same model, but it was a demo with about 5k on the clock.

Saw online a dealer in NH that has these two deals on new 9 2x's
- Linear-manual-list 24,285 sale 17,399
- Arc manual- list 30,195 sale 22,663
Seems pretty good, anyone see better? I might pull the trigger if I can find a comparable deal.

It wasn't a rebate. It was more of an incentive tied to the list price.I'm not sure if it's still in effect. Ask the dealer's salesperson. However,I've seen better and newer offers being rolled out like $5000 off list.

Hi folks. I've been reading with interest the comments and experiences of this particular forum. I have a couple of questions regarding the 9-2X. First, I'm angling for a manual, base model at around $17,400. My local dealer balked, but a dealer about 90 miles from my home said he could "get close." My concern is depreciation. As I told my local dealer, "yeah, the $5000 is great, but you're still not selling the car for $17,900. So, what's it worth when I drive it off the lot?" I've also discovered that Saab has a huge inventory of 9-2X's.
My goal is to get the car +TTL for $18k. Would I be a fool to turn down such an offer for the base model? Or, am I being too much of a scrooge?

Oh well, nevermind. The closest anyone will come to $18K is 18,635 (sales tax is about 540)-- so $18,100 is the lowest they will go.

So what's the end of the story? Did you go through with the deal? What was your drive off costs? I'm in the process right now myself!

I picked it up Saturday. I was out the door at $18,100. I got it for about $17,400. I'm thrilled. The car is great!!! Other than the initial test-drive, I did all the negotiation via email. The process was touch-and-go for a while, but it worked out well. The dealership treated me exceptionally well when I entered the showroom Saturday morning.
Good luck!
