Thanks, L Greetings, Prices vary a lot according to what market you're in, but I can give you a Swedish comparison for the same model year. Also assuming constant currency exchange rate (which it hasn't been) ... 1999 9-3 SE 200 hp, with all goodies such as leather seats, ACC, ...: New in 1999: list price SEK 240 000 (USD 26 000 or thereabouts) Realistic second-hand price here: SEK 120 000 - 130 000 (USD 13 000 - 14 000). Add 10% to the second-hand price if buying from a dealer. As I said, Swedish price estimates. But I think you're getting too little for your 9000 on the deal you mention. Maybe you should squeeze at least a couple more thousand dollars in your favour? What about these famous blue books? They're good on U.S. prices aren't they? Maybe some reader here can give us the URL . . . /Robert (Gothenburg)
