I wonder what the original msrp was on this Saab. 40k? If so, you got it for more than 90% off....But do you have a local shop that will service a Saab?

I wonder what happened to the front driver's side wheelarch, or is that a reflection? Maybe something a PDR guy could make it a lot less noticeable, and the car would be a 5 footer instead of a 10 footer

@ab348 - plan is to DD for a while until it becomes (a) unreliable, or (b) something else comes out that catches my attention.

A loan, that clock starts at closing!
If you are going down that path, another option can be to just refinance the mortgage.

I'm glad you are enjoying the Prius. Most people who have them do love them.

While we are on the Audi topic, I am starting to see A5 Sportbacks (Grand Coupe, 4 Door Coupe) on the road. It looks really sharp in Black, Dark Blue, & I really liked the Silver one I saw yesterday AM.

A child of SAAB: '71 99, '76 99 GLE (both Dad's) and '95 900s (mine, preemptive SUV strike). One of the counselors at a summer camp I attended had a black Sonnet III, I had a strange lust for it... I still have my Saab 50th Anniversary hat and t-shirt!
I am so unworthy, same car for ~4.5 years.
