Hi,
We're talking about an inexpensive used car here to begin with... I don't think it should sell for more than $6,500 at the most. The manual would make it more appealing to true lovers of the brand (my trusted SAAB mechanic tried to help me sell my '00 9-5 Aero automatic, and said it was tougher for him to find interested buyers than for a manual - but then again, this is a secluded shop catering to real saab nuts, no the typical garage). Anyway, I LOVE my '04 9-5 Aero, and the ability to control boost in each gear without resorting to those un-involving steering wheel paddles is really a strong point. Better gas mileage is a bonus, as is the 20 second overboost function the manuals have which temporarilly increase torque - generating big smiles.
There are better cars out there, but for the money, you'd be hard pressed to do better!
