I sold my '04 with 40 something on it for $7,500 in May of this year... Personally I wouldn't pay anything over $7,000 or an '04 regardless of mileage. I'd spend the money to have an indie saab expert look at it prior to purchase and I would want a detailed account of all problems the car had in the past that the dealer resolved or "couldn't duplicate". Mine left me stranded several times because it forgot the key. It had to be dragged on to a flatbed and dropped off at the dealers doorstep. I had a lot of nonsense problems that usually took 2 or 3 dealer trips. Some are good, some are better and some are total junk. It's a chance you take with any used car but I think more so with this mark. As for depreciation... maybe a little more but not that much when you consider the sticker price vs what the original buyer actually paid. If you like 'em don't mind being friendly with a mechanic and can get one cheap enough, why not. As much as I bitched about my '04, it was fun to drive when it was behaving 100%.
