Saab vs. Volvo

I am currently driving a 99 V70 and am serious considering a 01-02 Saab 9-5 2.3T Wagon. Unfortunately, upon reviewing the residual values of both cars, the 01-02 V70 is approximately 3-4K higher. Invaribly, this affects the monthly payments of the Saab making it higher. Would anyone be able to verify if they have encountered the same situation regarding excessive depreciation.
Another disturbing point was when I encountered a 99 Saab 9-5 2.3T sedan on a non-Saab dealer's lot for $24,500 Canadian dollars. This vehicle had 52,500 Kilometers (30K miles ) and was in excellent condition. This seems to confirm the rapid depreciation that the Saabs MAY have. Thank you in advance for confirming this detail with me.
