I had a '96 900SE that was totalled in an accident last year. It was purchased through the Saturn/Saab/Izusu used car programme in Southern Ontario which means no negotiation on price. I'm finally ready to buy again and, as well as looking at used, want to consider buying new this time (Damn, I loved that car!) and have a few questions (I did search the Saabnet archive with no luck): a) Is price negotiable on new models or do they follow the Saturn "no dicker" policy? b) If so, how much can I reasonably expect to negotiate off the asking price? If not, why not? They must be making a killing then because it looks to me like they're charging list. c) What about incentives like the ones available in the U.S. mentioned in postings here a few days ago? I can't find anything except a 1.9% lease rate on the 9-3 5 door only (not available on the SE). Again, if not, does anybody know why not? I'd be interested in hearing any other comments anybody has on buying a new Saab in Canada. Thanks, RAK
