Default Looking Forward to SAABing

I have been reading this message board for about a year now. Back in February, I found a 2005 9-3 Linear, 7,800 miles, Certified Used. I thought about buying the car but decided to wait. Good thing, I just bought it today for much less (same car).

This is my first SAAB, as I have been a VW owner since 1999. I loved my years in VWs, but I am looking forward to my SAAB.

Peace,
Chris

Congratulations on your "new" car! I have a feeling you will just love the thing. I know I do. I'm also thankful that you weren't discouraged from buying a Saab just from the bad experiences of some! Enjoy!!

I worked on the deal for two weeks. $21,500, which I think is a good deal.

Looking forward to taking it on a long ride outside of the city on Saturday.

That's a pretty solid deal for a CPO with less than 10K. Congratulations and welcome to the fold!!!

I feel as though it was a wonderful price. The dealership was great through the entire process.

The car has been a complete joy to drive over the weekend.

Learing about the profiler system has taken some time, but I think I have everything set just as I like except for the radio frequency display. For some reason, I can't seem to just keep the frequency on the SID. The frequency, call letters and station slogan keep scrolling through the SID. Any suggestions?

Sounds like a good deal. Your CPO warranty on an 05, BTW will outlast the standard warranty of an 06 model. Happy driving.
