There are certain dealers who had become accustomed to the practice of quoting ridiculously high prices to Saab buyers. I guess they figured out that many, but not all, buyers, were aware of the incentives, and they left it to the customer to say, "Hey, you forgot the $6000 in the trunk!" In fact I had exactly this experience when buying my 2004. They originally quoted a price that was right around invoice, but they cheerfully knocked off another 7000+ without complaint when I politely called them on it.
I guess these same dealers figure some customers are dumb enough to overpay by 4-5000 during the current "employee"promo. I guess some are dumb enough.
Let's face it, the "employee" promo does not offer a better net price than the old incentives did. It's just a different way of promoting it.
You can't blame dealers for trying to get what the traffic will bear.
