I have to say that I am really disgusted at the way the (9.3's market value has dropped in the last few years. A few disclaimers first: (1) We all know that cars are a bad investment in the first place because most drop several percentage points the moment you leave the dealership. (2)most of us (SAAB-netters) knew going into our purchase that we'd suffer greater than average depreciation. (3) some of us benefitted from the low market value by getting significant discounts (example: I got a 2000 9.3 base with leather, heated seats , sunroof, and SE wheels in Jan 2000 for $25,600. At the time, that was a pretty good deal. (4) we are in the last year of a model that will be changed after several years. (5) I'm into capitalism as much as anybody and if the market price for a new 9.3 is $20K, lucky for you. But I'm absolutely disgusted at SAAB's inability to match their MSRP (a complete joke) with the true market price. I don't mind greater than average depreciation because I love SAABs and I think they are a great secret in the sea of Maximas, etc. But you have to admit, this has gottrn out of control. Joshua Harrison
