#81 of 156 help me w/ actual price for linear by jtom Jun 17, 2005 (12:34 am)
Hi all-   A little late to the party, but I see Saab has the employee discount price and I want one. I see a base linear comes up at $16,821. This appears to be the exact amount of employee pricing +$695 transportation and $130 prep and handling charge.But I see carsdirect has a pricing of $17666 which seems to be $16821 PLUS these charges. This seems high as the Advertised price all over the internet is $800 less. Anyhow, any insight is helpful. I don't have a dealer on our island(maui). Who has experience using a third party mechanic for warranty issues with Saab? Thanks in advance, this forum has been helpful to say the least. - julie

Replying to: stockton (Jun 16, 2005 9:13 pm) Stockton-   From what others have posted, it seems the $16821 base includes the destination fee of $695   see the link the GMC 'suppliers price list' a few threads prior and download the file, then you can do the math yourself.   employee program price 9-2x linear base =20996 $20996-5000 rebate=15996 15996+$695 dest and $130 prep&handling fee=BINGO **$16821**   so, I'd ask your sales guy why he added the $695 as appears to be included already. The website says add tax, doc fee, etc. BUT doesn't mention destination fee. Please correct me if anyone knows otherwise.thanks.   julie

Replying to: stockton (Jun 16, 2005 9:13 pm) I think your numbers all add up...   Initially, it looked high, as I (and others, I presume) didn't realize that a Linear could be optioned out to $29,xxx..   It looks to me, like you got the employee price minus the $5000... I don't see a problem with your deal.   regards, kyfdx
#84 of 156 Employee Discount & Cash Allowance? by btimmons710 Jun 17, 2005 (8:22 am)
I haven't made it to my dealer yet, but thought I'd ask some questions before I go to try and make sure I'm totally informed. Can anyone confirm exactly how this discount works w/the cash allowance? I'm thinking discount price ($19,425 for Aero) less the cash allowance ($6,000 for Aero) drops the starting price to roughly $13,500? That sounds WAY too good to be true. Perhaps the $19,425 includes all incentive? Can someone set me straight on exactly how this promotion works?   Thanks.... Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jun 17, 2005 8:23 am)

Replying to: btimmons710 (Jun 17, 2005 8:22 am) The $19,425 includes the incentive..   Employee price is invoice minus holdback.. then, the incentive is subtracted from that..   regards, kyfdx
#86 of 156 Financing thru GMAC and dealer incentive from GM by carnutz Jun 18, 2005 (10:05 pm)
I would like to know if when you get the employee pricing and you get $5000 rebate from GMAC, do you have to finance the vehicle thru GMAC? Also, do all dealer get this 5% of MSRP back from GM. that means that still that price is negotiable? thank you for the response Replies to this message: kyfdx (Jun 19, 2005 8:21 am)

Replying to: carnutz (Jun 18, 2005 10:05 pm) Yes... the dealer gets 5% back from GM.. but, since the Employee price is below invoice, I don't think that all of that is gross profit.. You might be able to negotiate a few hundred more, but I wouldn't bet on it..   If you finance, you can use anyone you wish... If you lease, you have to go through GMAC to get the special price..   regards, kyfdx
#88 of 156 Re: GM Card earnings on top of GM employee price? [kyfdx] by troynoh Jun 19, 2005 (9:54 am)
Replying to: kyfdx (Jun 12, 2005 11:17 am) GM pricing on the 9-2X Linear, including the discounts, is 16,821 for a nearly 24k Linear. Can you beat that? You cant get a Impreza RS for that and to be able to own a SAAB. I think it is one hell of a deal. No Civic, Corolla, Mazda 3, can be had for that. People should be running out to steal those cars. Having driving an Impreza I know the SAAB is a good car. I look forward to buying one this week.
#89 of 156 octane usage by wolftim Jun 19, 2005 (1:37 pm)
Just a little note for anyone who is worried about the Aero using 93 octane. You don't have to use it, the turbo runs just fine with 87 or 89. I know the owners manual says to use 93 octane or whatever the highest your gas station uses. The truth is, and I have talked to a lot of mechanics about this, is that 87 octane gas will still work just fine. If you feel your car is acting sluggish run some good stuff in it to clear it out. I run 89 most often only because I don't trust 87 octane for any car I drive, turbo or not. Every once in a while I will run some 93 through it and everything is all good. Besides, what are you really saving between the cheap stuff and the good stuff, 20 cents per gallon. If you fill up with 12 gallons that's only $2.40 in savings, and who can put a cost on the funfactor difference between a turbo and non-turbo?
#90 of 156 Full of Gas by scootertrash2 Jun 19, 2005 (7:19 pm)
There is no "good stuff" or Bad stuff" and it's actually not good to "once in a while I will run some 93 through it "   The only difference is octane. There is no difference in additives or any curative power in using higher octane fuel unless you have an old car with a carburetor.   It's bad to occasionally run other fuel octane through it --you are confusing the computer. It makes timing and fuel adjustments based on it's last few hundred miles of use. Just use the lower octane and stick with it. Your cars computer and sensors will make the necessary adjustments and it will run perfectly.
