#97 of 156 Negotiate? by abraindrainer Jun 23, 2005 (8:47 am)
What seller in their right mind is going to encourage a buyer to negotiate... or erode profit margins? Everything is negotiable! Remind the stealership that they want to "earn your business". Clearly, you may request an "incentive" to buy from this seller. But obviously, they may just bow out... Replies to this message: mahoneyja (Jun 23, 2005 10:31 am) kyfdx (Jun 23, 2005 11:33 am)

#99 of 156 TMV Pricing by mike72 Jun 23, 2005 (11:28 am)
When I do a TMV Pricing Report on the 9-2X (Aero with Sport and Aero Premium packages) on Edmunds.com, the total with options and destination comes up as $29,968, but then they discount it $12,000!!! This would be a great price, but it seems ridiculously low. Is this a reasonably close number to take to a dealer or would they laugh me out of the showroom? Anybody come close to this number? I live in Maryland, just outside of DC.   I'm trying to decide between 9-2X and Mazda3. Both nice cars, but a $30,000 car for under $20,000 would be hard to pass up.

Replying to: mahoneyja (Jun 23, 2005 10:31 am) Not sure how TMV works.. it can be way off sometimes..   A Saab dealer showed me the employee price on a 9-2X Aero that he had sold recently..   MSRP $31,9XX GM employee price $29,3XX Rebate $6000 Final price $23,3XX   Or, about $8600 off MSRP..   regards, kyfdx

Just noticed that Edmunds changed the "Incentives & Rebate" discount on TMV to $6,000. Looks like they accidentally doubled the rebate. Wouldn't that have been nice!!! Still a good price for the car. Plus, I've got a certificate for another $1,000 off for being an Oldsmobile customer.   I love the Mazda3, but gotta think real hard about the 9-2X at that price...
#102 of 156 9-2 Eligible For GM Card Points? by gringo1 Jun 26, 2005 (10:06 am)
I have seen conflicting messages posted, so does anyone have any experience turning in GM Card points for help in purchase of a Saab?   or   Has anyone discussed this with GM Card and know the answer?   Thanks. Replies to this message: retropia (Jun 28, 2005 8:06 pm)

Replying to: gringo1 (Jun 26, 2005 10:06 am) I called the GM Card department that explains the rebate amounts available on specific GM vehicles. They said that Saab chose not to participate in the rebate program involving the original GM Card. That is the one that gives you a 5% rebate on every purchase, up to $500 per year, up to $3,500 total (dependent of course on the rebate amount you can apply per eligible vehicle).   There is, however, a "family" GM Card, run by the same bank, where you can apply a rebate to a Saab. It works differently. I investigated it briefly, and you may have to have a supplier connection, or be related to a GM employee to use it. The big difference is that it only offers you 1% of your purchase towards a rebate. You can convert your existing, original rebate to this card, but it gets converted to the lower amount. Thus, if you had a $2,000 rebate built up on your original card and converted it to the new one, your rebate would only be $400. However, you could apply it to a Saab, where you can't with the original card.   I didn't investigate it any further. I might qualify for the card with a supplier connection, but I didn't want to lose so much of my rebate amount in a conversion, in case I use it on a different GM vehicle.   There is a "business" GM card that Saab also participates with, that pays a 1% rebate. However, it is run by a different bank, so you can't transfer an existing rebate you may have on a different GM card. You would have to start building a rebate with it from scratch.   I think the service rep told me there are seven different GM cards available, so it gets confusing fast.
#104 of 156 Canadian 92-X buyer by searcherboy Jul 09, 2005 (10:09 am)
I'm looking into buying a 92-X in the US under the Employee Discount program, and importing it to Canada. GM has not introduced the discounts north of the border.   The US discount price for the 92-X is way less than Canadian WRX pricing, even after taxes, import fees and exchange rates.   My question: is the US 92-X warranty valid in Canada? And can I get the free routine service (oil changes,etc) for a US-bought car at a Canadian dealer? Can anybody out there take a look at their warranty to see if it is valid throughout North America? Any information would be very much appreciated.
#105 of 156 9-2X Linear Exec Demo w/5,200 miles by hotch41 Jul 13, 2005 (4:03 am)
I saw a satin gray Linear with automatic, cold weather and sunroof with about 5,200 miles on it. I was told it was the business manager's car and not a service loaner. It's on the showroom floor and it's in brand new condition. I would like everyone's opinion on the selling price of $18,400 is a good deal. After GM discounts, incentives and rebates, it comes out to be about $8,300 off the original MSRP. That's the dealer's best offer. The next best deal I could find at another dealer is for a brand new Linear with automatic, Premium, and Cold but no roof for $20,500. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Replying to: hotch41 (Jul 13, 2005 4:03 am) I bought my 9-2X Aero about 2-3 months ago and I saw something similar to what you are talking about. The Linear had about 6500 miles on it, auto, leather, no moon, cold weather and they were asking 24.5K before discounts. They then applied the 6000 Saab rebates and the 1000 GM Hotbutton rebates(no longer available), so that takes the price down to 17.5K. You have to figure that the aftermarket listing from the dealership on the moonroof is about 1800so I aould say it's a pretty darn good deal, for a "used car". I didn't buy the one I saw because I wanted turbo, bigger rims, a moonroof, and no cold weather. It's all about what you want. The car will turn heads no matter what you buy.
