Saabers,
I'm looking at a 2001 Red 9-3 Vert with 49K miles. Is an SE model with CD changer, power seats, climate control, 5 speed. Drives and looks very nice.
Asking $18,995--about $1,000 below dealer retail so I assume they would go lower. This is also a "Saab Certified" vehicle so warranty is good until 100K miles or Aug 2007. I was thinking of shooting them a $17,000 offer and see what they do. What do you think? Still too much? I need to get more details on the warranty to see exactly how comprehensive it is. Warranty is important to me as I have neither the time nor inclination for DIY projects.
Car is a one owner local trade-in (for an 05 Vert) and dealer is willing to put me in touch with former owner. Dealer has all the service records which include new front brake pads/rotors and new tires upon trade. Here is a synopsis:
Power top repair (twice)
Power seat switch problem numerous times (replaced entire seat Jan 04)
Power window went out/repaired
Several bulbs were replaced in the cabin
Stereo head unit and SID replaced (within 30 days of purchase at 826 miles)
Routine servicing was all done at dealer including the 30K.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks
Michael
