I'm picking up a Saab 9-2x

[Kazimierz]

So after a lot of debate, i've decided to pick a 9-2x Aero as my new car (black). I was going to pick up the WRX STi, but the Saab just looks so much better. That being said, i've got some spare cash, and would like to do some mods. Are there any Saab performance companies? Or do you know if WRX products work on the Saab?

Some links, or other information will be appreciated. I pick up the 9-2x tomorrow

Congrats on the new Saab!!!! Post some pics as soon as possible!!!

No need to find Saab specific parts, most WRX parts will fit.

Congrats.

I have been wanting a wrx wagon for some time, then the 9-2x came out. I agree that the saab does look much better. I may be picking up either a wrx or 9-2x Aero this summer, trying to get a deal on an 05 when the 06's come out. This month they have 5,000 cash back or 0% financing, and you can lease a linear for $219 a month ($230 when I came in for a quote), so they are going cheap, and probably will for awhile. Pre-tax the linear came out to a bit over $18,000 after the incentives

Edit: the saaburo would replace my saturn, not my 900

Is the 5,000 or 0% financing for an Aero? If it is, I wish I waited a few months.

It is (though I understand it's $5k or 1.9% or 2.9%, not 0%). Set to expire 3/31/05, but who knows.

my dealer has a big sign, $5,000 or 0% APR for 60 Months, and it does expire at the end of the month, but I was told they do a deal every month, and from my experiance buying a 2003 when the 2004's came out i am waiting for the 2006's ;-)

Ha, you wasted no time

are you going to drop it at all?

Nice! What kind of wheels and tires are those? Can you feel a big difference in handling?

[duck_man]

too bad the Canadian stock 17" aren't a standard feature in the US. 'Cause they look suh-weeeeet.

Also too bad mine sit in a shelf in the garage 6 months out of the year while the snow rubber is rolling. Stupid Canada. Stupid snow.

Well, being that i got about 10 miles of driving done on the stock rims, i dunno. They are 18" Crimson K6 rims, with 46mm offset. The shop didn't have 40mm and i decided to put the 46 on anyway, which was kind of a mistake. No problems with regular driving, but taking sharp winding turns at 70 leads to scraping. The car handles so great though, i just gotta pick up a tighter suspension or put spacers to prevent the rubbing.

I know how you feel.

I got my car on January 5th. By January 7th I had winters on it. Been rolling on steelies ever since. I can't wait for May.

Not to rub it in, but I really do love California for that one thing: we have about 1.5 seasons.
