Subject: 9-3 Dilemma


I've owned 2 Saabs. The first was an 85 900s that I sort of inherited in 1998. Great car, but very trouble-prone. I traded it in for a 95 900s with about 30,000 miles on it in 1999. I love this car, and it ran pretty well up until 2002. That's when it started having several problems. It's now at 77,000 miles, and I've spent about $6000 on repairs in the last 18 months. I think it's time for the car to go. Here is my dilemma. My Saab dealer is pretty desperate to keep me in "the Saab Family", and is offering a fairly attractive deal: A new 9-3 Linear for $20,000 (that includes my trade-in). I'm tempted, as it's a good deal and I still have a love for Saabs. On the other hand, my past experience with Saabs has been checkered at best and I have mixed feelings about the new 9-3s. My other option is to sell my Saab and buy a co-worker's 1999 Acura CL 3.0. It has 30,000 miles and is selling for $10,000. Seems like a good deal on a reliable car. So Saab aficionados, which would you go for? Would your love of Saabs trump the bargain of the Acura? Thanks, Hemlock0013
