When my dealer couldn't find exactly what I wanted in an '05 Aero sedan, he said "There are no more '05 Aeros, the ones we're going to get are here. If you really want this exact model, I can do a nationwide search... OR, take one off the lot, and I'll give you great deal". He gave me a great deal so I took it ('05 Aero with nav, exec package and vented seats for the same money as my '02 without those).
I assumed he was talking about "here" as in the US, and "we" being all US Saab dealers, since he then went on to talk about a nationwide search (having already done a local one). He never brought up ordering one. Having seen pictures of the '06 on the assembly line, I had assumed production had already cut over. Obviously, I do not know this for fact. Then again, if I had a lot full of 9-5s and relatively few buyers, I'd probably say the same thing.
He was also motivated because in the time it took me to go for a test drive, he had a buyer for my low mileage '02 Aero coming off lease (and sold it the same day). It does seem like the used market is heating up a bit.
