Hello all,
I'm new to this group and have never owned a Saab. I'd really appreciate your input on a few questions I have about an '05 Aero which I'm considering purchasing this weekend:
1. I've been quoted $31,400 (not including tax, title, and license) for an '05 Aero with automatic transmission and touring package. This is a $5,540 reduction off the MSRP of $36,940. Does this sound good or should the dealer come up with something better?
2. I'm concerned with the reliability. I've scoured this bulletin board and everyone seems quite happy, yet Consumer Reports rates '05 Aero reliability a surprising "poor" and a lot of posters on Edmunds.com don't have the nicest things to say either. What am I missing?
3. Does anyone recommend the extended warranty (100K miles) for an upcharge of about $2,000? What if it could be had for less than that? I put about 20K miles a year onto a car and I'd plan on keeping the Aero for four years or so.
Sorry for the long post, but my subject line says it all--I need help! Thanks so much for your thoughts.
