Finally a 9-5!

I didn't expect this to happen but......I just bought an '04 9-5 Arc manual. I was planning to do an IDS delivery of a 9-3 a little later this year but while rambling around the dealer's lot, I started to look at the 9-5s again. I had always liked them and almost bought one when they first came out. My middle-aged crazies had taken over and I ended up doing a Euro-Delivery on a 2000 BMW 323Ci instead. After 4-years of impracticality, it was nearing the time for a change.
What swung the deal away from the 9-3? The dealer advised me of a $4500 incentive on the 9-5s on their lot ($3000 on 9-3s). That in addition to a sizable dealer discount (manual 9-5 Arc), Saab owner loyalty discount ($500) and an new but orphan set of 2003 Aero wheels/tires gave me a reason to pause. There aren't too many manual 9-5 buyers in Dallas. End result, a new 2004 9-5 Arc 5-speed found a new home for less than what a new 1999 9-5 SE IDS-delivered car would have cost in 1999 and not much more than the list price of a base '04 9-3 Linear. I'm glad I beat the bush that this deal fell from!
