Steve,
FWIW the heated seats in the 2 cars I tested were really great. I am getting them. Also search the BB as I asked the same question a few weeks ago and got great replies.
Dealers can discount off of whatever they want. I have been figuring Invoive +$500-$800 and then subtracting the $4700 (or $5500 I think, in your case, for the SE). Email around nearby cities or where you have family asking for quotes and list your specific needs/ wants. You will get a few who are interested and you can compare them to your local dealers. It may get one of them to crack and if not, you have a road trip.
Make sure in all quotes that you ask for a complete price with ALL fees except tax and state registration. They will often try to offer quotes w/o delivery or tack on pure profit fees like "paperwork" or "advertising" before signing.
Know that the prices at Kelly and edmunds are a little off. They do not include the fact that Saab apparently raised its prices around $300 on March 1st and that the incentives are still in play. Some dealers claimed they are no go if I ordered. But other said they would guarantee them in writing if I put down a $500 deposit. Although only the dealer incentive, not the saab financing/ leasing deals.
Once I narrowed it down to three dealers, I added the accessories I wanted into the equation and got a final price from each. There is a good markup (I suspect) on the accessories and they are probably willing to give that up to get your business.
Best of luck,
Chris
