Re: 2006 VW GLI vs. 2007 Acura TSX vs. 2008 saab 9-3 [dr_tran]
Of the three the Saab would have the longest warranty at this point, and its a lot of fun to drive.

I own a O6 tsx with 6MT and nav. The only difference with it and the 07 is the tpms on the 07. I bought my tsx new 11/06. It now has almost 120,000 problem free miles. Excellent car

Re: negotiate lease buyout w/ GMAC/ALLY [reraltor]
I've known several people who had leases end recently and were in the same situation. The lease-end purchase price in the original contract was higher than the current market value on their cars. At least two of them asked for my advice because they wanted to buy their car if they could get the price down to current market value. In both situations, I had little trouble getting the leasing company ... Read More

Would you buy a 2007 Aero Conv in 2010?
I am looking to buy a Saab convertible and am aiming for the sweet spot between buying used to get depreciated pricing but still wanting to get a CPO. A local Boston dealer is offering a 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero convertible for $21,000. Any thoughts?

Re: New Saab Buyer [3kitties]
Not a bad price, but strongly consider a "pre-owned" car as well! I had a 2007 9-3 Aero (6cyl 2.3) that I leased as new, and after turn in I moved on to a 2008 9-3 Turbo X. The TX I bought was a trade in vehicle with 11k miles that I paid $25.900 for in April 2009 (car originally titled in September 2008) .. it was a $46,000 car being ... Read More

Re: 2000 9-3 Saab Turbo fails [xela200093]
Hi out there. I'm new to the Saab boards, but are seriously considering a used 9-3 Sportcombi 2.0 - 2007 or newer with less than 30K miles. What seems rather attractive is the 4 year/50K warranty. I previously owned a turbocharged car ( years ago, not a Saab ) in which the turbo itself had very limited life. The old turbocharger bearings were not water cooled, and the turbo I had ... Read More

Opinions on used 9-3 Convertible
We've decided to get a convertible and are down to a 2006 or 07 Solara SLE (reliable but a bit boring) or a 2007 9-3 2.0T. I'm looking at two nice 9-3's, both have similar options: - white, with 17K miles, 16'' wheels - dealer asking $21,000 - metallic gray, with 40K miles, 17'' wheels - dealer asking $16,900 both are in outstanding shape - interiors appear like new, good tires, ...

2007 saab
After bringing the car home from Austin it has 34,800 miles. I like it; it gobbles highwy miles with ease. At 65MPH rpm is barely over 2000. I did not measure exact gas mileage but it had to be 30 or better with average spped close to 80MPH. My wife noticed it remided her of volkswagen she drove long time ago. Now let's hope it will hold up mechanically.

Re: 2009 Saab 9-3 pricing [mavrick83]
Don't worry about the dealer losing money.. If he is, then it's only because that is all he can get for the car, and it's better to cut his losses.. That's a doubtful scenario, but so much the better for you... My local dealer is selling service loaner/demos that have similar stickers for $10K off MSRP.. That's about $2K less than your brand-new example... so, I'd say you are in the ... Read More

Re: 2007 9-3 2.0T Sedan [kyfdx]
They're plentiful because a lot of them were leased and are now coming off of 2 and 3 yr leases. I wish I had the need for a new car- a used Saab would definitely show up on my short list. In a year or two, the supply of used Saabs will dry up as GMAC canned leasing for Saab sometime in 2008. But, somehow there are plenty of "former GM ... Read More

Re: Considering 2006 9-3 Aero with Manual [blp1]
blp1 - I would say that the price is a bit high for that car. If you look around, you can find a 2007-2008 with lower miles for the same price. I came across more than a few 2007-2008 models with anywhere from 8,000 miles to 20,000 miles for $18-$20k. Some were CPO, some were not - but as you said, the balance of the 4yr/50k warranty still applies. FWIW, I ... Read More

Re: 2007 Saab 93 rear brakes [saab88]
Hey Saab88, That's strange that those rear brake issues have already happened on a 2007...when I joined these forums before puchasing a used 2006 9-3 Aero (with only 2,000 miles on it) in February, 2008, everyone was bitching about the rear brakes going out to quickly. It didn't deter me from taking the Swedish plunge though. I now only have 14,500 miles on my Aero, which is a little heavier than ... Read More

Re: 2007 Saab 93 rear brakes [andyv1]
I have 21k on my 2007 93 and was told the same things except I caught it before the rotors were blown so it' only going to cost me a little over $250 - called a couple other dealership and they said the same thing. Saab uses rear brakes first, so they wear out more quickly. It's odd, but then so is the Saab. The front brake pads were in fine ... Read More

Re: 2007 Aero 20000? thoughts [einaj]
Hmm.. I would offer $17,500, then "bump" up to $18,000, and walk away once the negotiations circle around to $18,500. Beyond that, it's not that great of a deal. These prices assume you will have a 6 yr/100K miles CPO warranty from Saab thrown in; if not, then, well, knock off at least another $1000 or so. Saabs don't resale very well, so use that to your advantage. Also, as another ... Read More

Re: 2008 GTI VS 2007 SAAB 9-3 [craigp1]
I guess you like cars with personality and less concerning about reliability. Both cars have never been praised in reliablity. But Saab tend to luz its value quicker than GTI since its under GM. Considering this, you might wanna get used Saab with good care (hard to find but worth to find). You gonna save several thousand dollars easily with used Saab. Another point is that GTI is newer model. For ... Read More

I would take invoice price, subtract everything, and then work my way up from there; the dealing should be ... Read More

Re: 2007 9-3 SportCombi purchase [elvis2k]
Sorry for the confusion - -let me try again. Did you purchase your Saab from 1) the dealer who searched for and found the car you wanted, or 2) the dealer who originally had the car before it was trailered? If #1, then who bought the car from the dealer who originally held it? Hope this makes sense. Thanks.

Re: 2007 9-3 SportCombi purchase [rgreene1]
I bought my car from a non-local dealer who found the car after doing a national search. There was an extra $250.00 expense to have the car trailered to them. I drove 2 hrs to sign the papers and pickup the car. My local Saab dealer was not interested in searching for the car I wanted. I guess they wanted to sell what was on their lot.

Re: 2007 9-3 SportCombi purchase [elvis2k]
Did you purchase your Saab from your local dealer (who did the national search), or from the dealer who had the car you wanted? If it was from your local dealer, was there some extra expense since your dealer served as a "middle man"? I'm asking because I may soon be in a similar situation with a Saab I want sitting across the country. Thanks.

Re: looking for my first Saab, need opinions please [floatsey09]

I think a few items that will be fixed under the 4/50 were considered wear items under ... Read More

Saab dealer and Saab reliability
I'm looking at buying my first Saab, a 2007 9-3 sedan and have a couple of questions. My local Saab dealer is an Audi/Volkswagen/Saab/Suzuki dealer. The showroom has room for an Audi, Volkswagen, and Suzuki, but no Saab. They have one used Saab for sale. If this dealer drops Saab, driving to another dealer isn't an option, 150+ miles.

The lease rate for an otherwise identical 27 month lease would be the same, but the residual value would be 1% lower. Saab is no longer offering leases on 2007 models. You are correct, if you are eligible for ... Read More

Re: Saab 9-3 Reliability? [wayland1985]

That year in particular had a number of electrical problems experienced by many owners, as this one did. Not all the problems always stay fixed, so there is risk involved in this purchase.

Hi wokscott. The 2007 Saab 9-3 has a spread of around $1,500 between its MSRP and dealer invoice price. Saab is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of this model.

This looks like ... Read More

Re: 2008 GTI VS 2007 SAAB 9-3 [tagj4]

Deducting the discount of about 7% ($2,540) and cash back of $4,000 the purchase price is around $29,660 - a little bid higher than the other two. However, figuring in the 36k miles of included maintenance with the Saab vs the anticipated maint. on the TSX and ... Read More

Re: Saab 9-3 Lease [j1mbo01]

I would be happy to estimate what your monthly payment should be like on this car right now, but in order for me to do so I need you to provide me with the exact MSRP of the model ... Read More

Re: Info Please - Residual and Interest on 2.0T Combi, July 07 [htimsdj]
Hello Jeff. This car's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different.

SAAB- bought & the price went down the next day HELP
Looking for advice about my July 2007 new 9-5 SAAB Aero purchase. I purchased my car on a Monday at 5pm, knowing it would have a $3,000 rebate/price incentive from GM, along with an owner loyalty incentive. The NEXT day (Tuesday) rebates on the car increased to $4,000. Basically, the dealer has told me that the $1,000 loss is my tough luck. If it were just about any other purchase, I ... Read More

Re: 2007 9-3 SportCombi in Atlanta [tpi52]
That was not the OTD price. They add $399 "dealer service charge", and $39 tag fee. I also purchased (based on my 2 other Saabs) a 7 year/100,000 mile $0 deductible bumper to bumper coverage for $2000. Breakdown - Price - $31014 Dealer service - +$399 Tag - +$39 Rebate/discount - -$6000 Trade in - -$15200 - better than any other dealers' offer

Bought a 2007 9-3
Previously owned a 2001 9-3 and it was reliable and economical, but unimpressive. The 2007 is a step up in quality, handling and features. The new 9-3 was flawless from the factory because of Saab's predelivery inspection protocol (PDI). The car has run without a hitch (5,000 business miles in a month and a half). The assurance of GM's 5 year 100K drivetrain, 10 year unlimited corrosion, 4 year 50K bumper ... Read More

Re: Are these numbers correct? [jpsnack]
Hi Jim. Saab's current base lease rate for a 27 month lease of a 2007 9-3 Sport Sedan is 3.35% with the payment of a security deposit at lease signing. So either you are having your security deposit waived or the dealer is marking your lease rate up. Make sure to insist that they use the 3.35% rate. The selling price that you were quoted for this car looks reasonable to ... Read More

Re: 2007 9-3 Incenteives? [wokscott]
Hi wokscott. Saab's current incentives on the 2007 9-3 are scheduled to run through July 9th. It is difficult to say whether the program that it introduces when the current one expires will be better or worse than the current one. Saab is not currently providing any cash incentives on leases of the '07 9-3. It is running a special lease program on it. This program varies by trim level, term, ... Read More

Saab Black Turbo - a return of the famed Viggen
The 08 looks nice. There is also rumor that Saab is developing a super high performance 93 V6, 320+hp, XWD called Black Turbo to directly competes with BMW M-series and Mercedes AMG. With all their marketing effort that Saab are born from Jets, a Black Turbo (Viggen) project is a strong step toward that direction. http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2007/06/black_turbo_sni.html

Re: My Saab dealer experience [saablcp]
sorry, I was asking gbv concerning the 2007 Aero SportCombi (6sp M) he mentioned, but please --sure, your impressions of the '08 to be released in August? My own impression is that it's a good step forward (in terms of overall quality) and for Saab, experiencing declining sales, it must succeed in the market. I'm wondering what one would comparison shop it against? I'm considering the new Pontiac G8 because I'm ... Read More

Re: My Saab dealer experience [gbv]
Done - I gave up trying to help the dealer help me. I drove a couple hundred kilometers away and picked up a 2007 Aero SportCombi (6sp M) from a different dealer. It was a demonstrator with 4600 km. Got it for less than the anniversary edition was going to cost me. :)

Re: advice about buying Saab [jimmyf]

It looks like Saab worked out the reliability issues they had ... Read More
