Need some Saab buying Advice (long)

Took my Parents Saab shopping today.
They have never owned a Saab but I think I've got them hooked and a 9-5 Wagon really fits the bill for them.
We went to a dealer enticed by the Employee discount to find a wagon. They had all but one '05 on the lot-a Black Linear with Luxury package-MSRP of $36,xxx discounted to $29,xxx. We all really liked the car.
My first question is: Is the employee discount all that good compared to previous incentives? Is this something to take immediate advantage of seeing that the discount ends on Monday? I know no one can predict what August or this fall will bring-but is there urgency to act or can they take their time?
Then the wrench: We also drove a beautiful red 9-3 Linear with this gorgeous black and white interior. MSRP $30,xxx discounted to $25,xxx.
We all loved the car-especially me. My first time in a 9-3SS and I'm quite enamored with it. Unfortunately the car doesn't fit their cargo needs-(too bad the sport combi isn't out yet). Perhaps this is best suited for the 9-3SS board-but is the discount particularly good with the 9-3 too compared to previous incentives? Also, have the intial 9-3 electrical gremlins I've heard about been dealt with for the '05s?
Sorry this is long and great Thanks to anyone who can offer advice for my first time Saab buying parents (i've only bought old, used C900s)
Cheers,
-Nick
