SAAB depreciation

I love my SAAB's but what's up with the terrible depreciation!!! I own a 99 9-5 SE and found out recently that the Kelly Blue Book is around 22K. Worst yet, the dealer only wants to give me 19K for it. The MSRP on the car was 37.5K when I bought and it seems rediculous that the car would depreciate that much in two years. No, the car isn't in terrible shape either. I baby the thing! No dings, dents or scratches. I don't smoke and when I wash it I wipe down the engine compartment and door jams. I've been VERY disappointed with the depreciation to the point that I'm going to be looking at other brands when I buy another car in the fall. Again, I love the 9-5 and haven't had a bit of trouble with it. I would like to purchase another one but I will find it hard to stick with SAAB due to the depreciation factor.
