Thanks for the headsup regarding the 30k service, I did check on that and it was already done.

In response to the posts on the Aero having the touring package, I'm not too sure about that because the dealer was going on and on about the Xenons and there was no mention of rear-park assist or rain-sensing wipers, which I don't think he would have left out in his marketing blitz to me. So does it mean that for a 02 9-5 Aero to have Xenons, it means that it has to come with either the Touring/Visibility package? But I'll definitely check up on that, seeing that it is a Beemer dealership I am buying a Saab from. Yes ironically, both vehicles are at 2 different Beemer dealerships so that rules out the Saab certified used vehicle warranties although both respective dealers were rapping about how the original Saab factory warranty still stands. (Which I will definitely check up on the validity left) Yes, and about bringing a mechanic with me, I'll definitely bring in a third-party mechanic to do a 150 point inspection for me before I buy the car, whichever one it is, just to prevent myself from getting duped into getting a darn lemon.

Seems like you guys are mostly Aero fans, I guess power works for you guys. Well, the Aero is definitely a nice overtaking car.... Anyway, since both the 02 Aero and the 03 9-3 Linear are comparatively priced, with the 02 Aero being the older car and having about 13k more miles than the 9-3 Linear, which one do you guys think will hold its value better over the next 2-3 years (considering the mileage I'll be adding on to the cars will not be much as my commute's pretty short, maybe 8-10k a year)? I think retaining value is pretty important too as I really don't want all my money to just pretty much go down the drain like that.
