I asked a local Volvo dealer what he'd give me for my '99 Viggen against a V70 T-5M he had on the lot. Turns out the Volvo dealer is owned in part by the same guy that owns the Saab dealer across town so they talk regularly and know what these cars are worth. Long story short, my '99 has 35k miles, is in good condition with all options including 4 mounted snows on alloys. They offered me about 20,500 cash for it. (I paid $33k w/ all options incl extra wheels and snows for it new) Figure they need to make a profit re-selling it. I said no thanks. Would I pay 28 k for a '99? No way. Depreciation is simply too big on these cars. My Vig has been pretty flawless, though I am seeing a few telltale signs of what may turn into rust trouble down the road. Not impressesd by that at all! Otherwise 27-30 mpg, rip roaring engine, lots of carrying space, and fun handling. Hard to beat. Shop around. With all the yuppie layoffs in the news, there are bound to be all sorts of good deals out there.
