Where are you looking? Here in the SF Bay Area, $8K for a Saab w/ the stats you've listed sounds like a fairly good price, especially if the records are clean and reflect good maintenance. An easy way to chk. prices all across the US is to look in 'http://classifieds.excite.com/' and then chk. what folks are asking for comparable cars in your area.
