You're right. Saab offers a similar program but possibly a little better -- two round-trip tickets, hotel, etc... and 10% off msrp -- that means a fully loaded 9-5 SE V6t only runs $32,850 via IDS. I'm amazed more people don't take advantage of either Volvo or Saab programs! In article <78l3fs$9e2$1nopsamer.news.rcn.net>, "Russell D. Ollie, Sr." <russell.ollienopsams.com> wrote: > Agreed.
