A couple years ago I purchased a used '08 9-3 Aero with 45k on the odo, a 6-sp manual and 2.8 V-6 for under $15k. Awesome car, much better all- around car than previous generations. My wife and I currently also own an OG '99 (stage 3) and 9-3 Arc, so I say that with some experience. The twin scroll turbo mated to the V-6 provides seamless power immediately from a dead start. I recently upgraded the software with a stage 1 from Maptun, adding over 30 hp and 70 lbs torque. The gearbox is the only area which I have found to be very stiff. I still can't decide if I like that aspect or not.
For the money, you would be hard pressed to find a car that offers as much value as a late-model 9-3.
