Having lived and driven in the DC area for years, I'd strongly suggest getting a used Saab from a different area. Cars get eaten up there, between the potholes, the excessive salt, the stop and go. My recent search for a Saab turned up several possibles in Northern Virginia, but I decided not to check them out for the reasons above. (I'm living in Knoxville, TN, now). I'd suggest taking a weekend and go to Atlanta. Jim Ellis, a large dealer and a Saab dealer with a good reputation, has quite a few certified convertibles at or below $20,000. I believe there's some special Saab sponsored financing on certified 9-3s right now. http://www.ebizautos.com/jimellis/index.cfm?p=inventory&show=SAAB&sort=mmy&web_show=all Another possible, also in Atlanta, is Saabway.com http://www.saabway.com That company specializes in selling Saabs coming off lease.
