From ecstatic to depressed in less than 30 days!

Purchased my 9-3 SS on 2/8/03... have been telling everyone how happy I am with the car (my first ever SAAB), despite "settling" for the Linear vs. waiting months for the Arc and not having Onstar available yet. Can you imagine how disillusioned I was this week to discover that a mere 3 weeks after purchasing my car, they have increased the rebate by $1000!!!!!!! We're not talking months here... literally, 3 weeks to the day!
Being a little naive, I called the GM Supplier Discount Program Headquarters, since I qualify for the discount. They said to call SAAB Customer Service and gave me that 800#. Called them and was rudely told that that's the way it is and all but hung up on. Now, I have to say I'm even more concerned that this is how SAAB treats brand-new SAAB owners. All the warm fuzzies are gone... I'm so bummed. Too bad-- it's a great car so far, but I just can't get over the fact that they made it $1000 cheaper within days after my purchase. I feel so cheated by these tactics!
Oh well... just had to vent a little. Hopefully someone out there has an encouraging word or two.
I'm beginning to have my doubts about a lot of SAAB stuff... 30 days owning the car is this coming Monday and I haven't been contacted by dealer service (as promised) for the 30-day service... I'll call them, don't worry. Am also wondering how many years I'll own this car before Onstar becomes available.
Signed,
Disillusioned
