Well Rueben this is nice to see that you got what you wanted, and I agree with you on all of that.

And as always, Quickening, your car is beautiful.

Yes that is a sexy car! When I said 21K that is with rebate applied. 26K is the sticker minus 3 K rebate and I only pay invoice which is about 24K. Of course I will come out paying 21,(800,900)K or what ever but it should be in that range. The current rebate expires on July 9th so I am going to cross my fingers that they up it to clean out stock. It should get the 4K rebate the 06's has once it gets close to 08 production in August.

I'm a newbie here. Currently driving a 1995 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi (a sweet riding car, relatively low maintenance, very reliable) and a 1999 Olds Bravada (high maintenance vehicle).

We're in the market for a new vehicle soon and I'm considering a Saab. However, I'm pretty clueless about Saab. I know the car has a good safety record, seems like a good quality ride from what I read, appears to be reliable, comfortable, and all round a good quality vehicle.

I'm wondering about cost for maintaining a Saab? Parts, for example, would be expensive I imagine since they're European-sourced.

So I'm wondering about others' impressions, comments, suggestions to someone who's considering Saab but knows little about the car. (Truth to tell, I'm waiting for the Pontiac G8 to hit the market!).

Thanks!
