Actually the low residual value is good for some people like me. I only buy used Saabs (well my second one was new and I learned my leason <g>). Because they depreciate so fast you get a really nice car dirt cheap when you buy a 1 or 2 year old model. Rob gdave wrote: > > I can only tell you that the residual values suck.
