Looking at a 01 Saab 9-5 SE V6, Mileage 70500
Dealer purchase, they are asking 7995

Car fax report shows-2 owners- no accidents
1st was a lease for 3 yrs 3 mos back to dealer 2/05 odometer 41,670
2nd owner purchased at 44,436 traded into dealer 3/08

Warranty Inquiry on Vin shows Recall campaigns for wheel bolt replacement, retaining clip and screw, IDM, and airbag stickers have been done.

Timing Belt was done at 63K
Muffler was done at 66K
Prior to having the indie inspection , dealer had replaced front rotors, replaced both front and rear brake pads, cleaned and lubed caliper slides, replaced front left headlight, replaced wiper blades, rotated and balanced tires, and done a complete oil change.

It would appear from maintenance records that 2nd owner did regular oil changes with full synthetic oil

Indie inspection found the following:
*Right rear rim bent
Oil Leak at crank pick-up or possibly above
car was painted (not all over, no evidence of crash, most likely to cover door dings as car is silver and paint is hard to match
2 dents in hood
*left front interior handle cover missing
*left front window rattle or regulator rattle
*AC not blowing air
*both keys need batteries
#noise from blower motor-might be leaves but could also be that blower motor is going.
*drivers side mirror not rotating out fully
*dash bulbs on speedometer between 70 and 90 MPH out.

*dealership has told me they are fixing
#dealership has told me they will check these items to see what the problem might be.

Service department has indicated that fuel pump was not changed at their dealership, if it was done, it was done elsewhere.

Dealership has also indicated area with oil at crank pick up is not a leak and is old oil.

Anything stick out for anyone that is a cause for concern?

Someone on this forum suggested we offer 6200 to start and make our final offer 7000 incl. tax and title.

Is that seem reasonable? Looking for opinions for or against. We are suppose to meet with the salesperson tomorrow if we are going to negotiate a deal so I appreciate everyone's input.
