I've spend a number of years in the car business and I'm currently a dealer. I understand that Saabs bring different amounts in different parts of the country. The price I quoted you was from what's known as the "Black Book," which is what dealers nation wide use to determine wholesale value. It's actually a national average based on what they bring at auctions. Here in the midwest Saabs sell for even less than they do out east, so when dealers appraise a car they take local variations into account. But I would strongly suggest you be very careful about paying N.A.D.A or Bluebook prices for ANYTHING, since they tend to be wildy optimistic. The only thing dealers use those books for is to get people to pay more. If you don't beleive me, pick a car, figure out a price it's worth, then get on Autotrader.com. I garentee you'll find many examples of that same car for a lot less money. If you'd like me to find you one here, give me a call at 616 846-2731. I go to the auctions or, if we find one at a dealer, I could probably get them to wholesale it to me.
