At a particular Saab dealership 20 miles south of Boston...asked the salesman if the '99 Frost Grey 9-5 SE he had on the lot had ever been in an accident. Said he didn't know. Asked him if he would run a Carfax. Said they didn't typically do that (Huh?)
I ran it. Sure enough an accident showed up on the report.
Ended up purchasing on eBAY and will go to local Saab mechanic for service. In general I found that prices are too high at the dealerships. I'm a risk taker and was willing to take on the added risk of buying on-line in exchange for potential savings vs. the dealership.
In addition, I think you'll find that dealerships are very slow to adjust their prices even though the prices for used cars (Saabs being a very good example) continue to fall, seemingly on a daily basis. Enough ranting.
Good luck.
