It's poor resale value if one only looks at MSRP

but Saabs are usually sold at thousands below MSRP, whereas the BMW or other high resale value cars are usually sold at not much lower than sticker. Therefore, it's not as extremely poor as you might think if you consider how much it has depreciated from the actual selling price, but it's still poor nonetheless.
That leads me to the question of Saab's policy of setting high MSRP and heavily discounted the cars. In my opinion this really hurts them in car comparison tests as car reveiwers will put cars with comparable MSRP against each other without taking into account the actual selling prices. As often mentioned on this board, it would cost thousands more for comparable equipped and performance cars such as Audi or BMW. I could go on and on but have to cut my post short as I'm at work. Cheers.
