considering trading "up"

So I've got the convertible bug and I'm looking at realistic options that I have to get one. As some background, right now I drive an 01 9-3 base which has about 85k miles on it. From what I can tell, it's worth anywhere from 7500 to 8500 as it's in great condition.
I started my search going through basically every practical convertible out there and have narrowed it down to either a MB SLK 230 (of the ~2001 vintage) or a 9-3 SE of the 01-03 vintage.
Now, I've never sold a car before, let alone traded one, just let them go until they die. What is the market like for used 01 9-3 (hatchback's) at the moment?
Going through the classifieds on saabnet, I'm shocked at the prices people are asking for 01-03 SE's. I see a couple in the 12 to 13.5k range, which seems reasonable. I also see a bunch creeping towards 20k, which is absurd in my mind, when my hardtop is worth less than half as much. Is this real? What kind of prices are people paying for 01-03 SE convertibles (manual tranny, trying to keep the miles under 60k).
