Newbie with a few Q's

Just picked up a Saab 9-5 Linear Wednesday at $9k under MSRP (GM Supplier Discout), and I must say we love this car! I don't think I'd pay full MSRP for it, but at a 25% discount nothing can beat it! Traded in the Ford Explorer and we havn't looked back yet. It's a nice supplement to our 325i. We'll use it for our longer trips, since the 9-5 offers more comform and convenience than the 325i. Plus the wife got over 31 mpg in the auto tranny in the first day of driving!
Anyway, got a few questions being a newbie. Our dealer says the prices in the Saab accessory catalog are what Saab charges the dealer and they just pass the price along, hence there is no discount off the price. True at all dealerships? Internet specials avaialable somewhere?
Is there a CD-Changer that is cheaper than Saab's and still plug-and-play?
What are some common performance upgrades available? Are there tuning companies that reprogram the ECU to increase boost, timing, etc.?
Thanks in advance.
