Very few cars make great investments (they come from Italy), but in the short term buying a Saab makes less sense than most. If you plan to keep the car for 6, 8, 10 years or until the wheels fall off, then it doesn't matter does it? But if you're looking for a car that will be easy to trade in for a good chunk of change in a coupla years, I'm afraid this car isn't it.
Now before everyone starts flaming, I'm not saying this is fair, or right, or justified. I happen to like my Linear just fine and plan to drive it for all 48 months of its lease. I'm just stating what the market thinks of used Saabs. And when you see the deals being made on new Saabs, the used ones makes even less sense. But since cars don't make sense financially anyway, buy or lease the car you want, enjoy it, then get rid of it whenever you're ready.
