Frank: I am about to get my 2002 Aero and will be coming out of a 99 9-5 like you,with a stick. The new car is so much better, that I agree with Ron H and other poster that it is a no brainer.
Current residuals on Saabs are low. I believe that this is the last remaining barrier to Saab being accepted as a true luxury make that competes with BMW and Mercedes.
There is no way that your car will fetch the 21k value, even retail,even if in perfect condition with only 30k miles on it. You should turn it in, and buy or lease your next one. I am looking at either trading or selling my car outright,and although it has 80k miles,it also is showroom condition, and i will be looking at around 16k max on a trade,even here in New England which is a traditionally strong Saab market. Makes me think about leasing my next one instead of buying.
The Aero,especially with automatic, is a far superior car to the stock 9-5.Go drive it and you will see.
In any case,do not buy your car out at anything approaching that 21k figure. If you like the car, and want to drive it till it dies,that's one thing, but to buy it and then resell it,you will loose your shirt.
Good luck.
