Subject: Re: European Delivery Program


I have the 1999 IDS booklet, and after a quick review, it looks like these are the options: You can order the car from the US, fly over to Europe, drive it around, drop if off at one of 22 locations, and then pick it up at the port when it arrives in the US. You get a one year warranty to drive it in Europe and then the balance of the US warranty when it arrives in the US. The car does not go through a US dealer. This is called the Home Shipment Program. The other option is if you are already in Europe, such as military, diplomat, or working abroad. You can order it through an IDS agent in Europe, and the car is sent directly to the dealership of your choice in the US. With this program you do NOT get to drive the car in Europe. This is called the Stateside Delivery Program. The secret to this program is that you have to be in Europe to order the car. Otherwise it would be directly competing with US dealerships if you could order a car and have it delivered through your dealer and pay saab directly. I ordered two Saabs while stationed in Europe through IDS sales, and everything worked very well. The military shipped one, and Saab shipped the other. You can save a lot of money, but the prices are non-negotiable, so you might be able to get a better rate in the US if the planets are aligned and the dealer needs to move a car. Ken Ferguson
