Yipee, a new 9-3 Linear has been ordered for me! After a 2 year absence away from SAAB and driving a "temporary" car, I am getting my first 9-3 and 4th SAAB. The first dealer was dragging their feet for about 2 weeks so I called a second one and later that day he called back saying that it was a sale.

Now I am in the buying mode. What to buy? Any more thoughts, post them.
1. trunk mat-already bought (colorful kids' rug with rubber backing: it's light colored so it's easy to see things in the trunk)
2. floor mats-a relic from my 1st 900 (at least the back ones will fit)
3. new front sunshade-already bought
4. 4 snow tires next winter-thinking of Bridgestone Blizzak WS50 205/55QR15 instead of 215/55-16 Blizzak's (they are 10mm narrower as I want them but spin at 833 revolutions per mile vs the factory supplied Pirelli P6 4 Seasons' 822 revolutions per mile).
4a. Haven't decided on getting SAAB alloy wheels, steel wheels, or aftermarket alloy wheels.
5. projected for 2007-2008: upgrade to Goodyear Eagle F1 225/60ZR16 (any bad comments on them, feel free to post)
6. front seat covers-I need to check if the side airbags are seat mounted, not door mounted. If so, I think a seat cover is not possible.
7. window tint-not sure if it helps fight heat.
8. rear window screen-any experiences with this?
9. wheel locks-forgot to mention that to the dealer. Are McGard's available? I thought they were the supplier when the 900's were sold.
10. European spec driver's side mirror-the one I had on my 900 was excellent
11. maybe front fog lights
