Unless you plan to keep it for 10 years... They just depreciate so gosh darn much. In a year or two the car you paid $25,000+ for is worth about $16,000. Add another year and it's $13k... This is what makes Saabs such amazing used cars. I got a 2004 Aero last year that someone paid $42,000 for in late 2004. It was (still is) in like new condition and had 31k miles on it. I bought it for $12,500.
But, if you want a NEW Saab by all means go for it. Help the company, please! Don't worry about Saab going under; it won't. Even if it did I am very confident parts and service will be abundantly available. I don't think dealers can possibly give better deals than they are right now, so now is not a bad time to buy. Especially a 9-3. I would only worry about additional heavy discounts coming for the 9-5 as the new one is coming out early 2010. Good luck!
