John: Well yes thanks, I am impressed with myself. About car, that is.
Lola: A Stanford grad student eyeing A6? I hope you mean Stanford b-school student! When I was a grad student (Ph.D. in biology), I was eyeing 1972 Volvo's... Good luck to your son at Stanford.
Jaymon: Yep, Scarab Green is the one. Except that, thanks to the Edmunds.com pricing gizmo, the price was 8K-ish rather than 9K-ish. They were good sports about it. Refused to do most any work on the car at this price, but I wouldn't trust a dealer to do maintenance anyway, hence my search for an independent mechanic in the NYC area on a separate thread.
Larry: Thanks for the reality check. I definitely viewed them as used car guys, not as Saab guys. I am neither, so I called out the Autocritic service. They are not Saabheads either, but I would trust them to pick any major problems. Fortunately, there seemed to be none. Except that the "Check Engine" aka idiot light is on for no discernible reason. Watch this space for updates as I take the car to a trustworthy mechanic.
Thanks to all for your feedback,
Alex
