Not just another car.

This is the second Saab in my family. It's a 2007 sedan and son drives it at college. I feel like this is a perfect car for him. Saab is well known for safety and he is proud to drive something different from everybody else. We found it used with 78k miles for $3800. Not bad at all. I refreshed it with a long list of things that need to be replaced with age and I feel confident he will get many years out of it. It is important to know parts are getting hard to find and always get high quality parts (original). You should expect to order everything online. Don't expect a local place to even have simple things like hoses. You should also be the type of person who can do your own repairs otherwise this could cost you a fortune at a shop. They aren't hard to work on and the internet is full of help.

07 Saab 95 Aero. I've had it for a year, fixed the little issues that it came with and so far so good. It's all about the maintenance. Pleasure to drive especially on winding roads, handles like a sports car, tight and precise. Would recommend and become part of the Saab world.

Was nice until Saab went bankrupt

40k MSRP new, its lost $27k trade in value in 4 years. Thanks for going bankrupt SAAB, now our car is near worthless and we're upside down on the loan! There are no replacement parts, there are no authorized service dealerships in the USA anymore, and there's nobody who is willing to buy this car off us at a reasonable price (because it's unreasonable to want a car that you won't be able to fix when something breaks). It drove fine, has quite a few features but it's become an antique in just 4 years. All the new cars out now have nice touchscreens and bluetooth and backup cameras.
