From my data the national avg wholesale price of a 95 V6 SE is $7100. Still more then the same comparison of value on your Sentra. So now all ya gotta do is figure out how to unload a Sentra your employer is buried in. On the other side of things, I do see dealers that don't know the Saab market steal them on trade in and never try to retail them. Many domestic new car dealers don't know how or where to sell them. In my market they are unusually soft and there is a good amount of quality product available at decent prices. Your new to you Saab probably won't give you the turn-key, lack of maintance/service dependability that your Nissan would, but it sure has a lot more character, is a lot more fun to drive and is substantially more car.
