Thanks for all the input. I realize it makes good financial sense to buy a used one because of the ridiculous depreciation on these things (and obviously I'm staring that in the face when contemplating selling my own 2005 in conjunction with getting a new one.)
Thing is... I like new. Call me obsessive/compulsive, but I like KNOWING that the oil was changed on schedule from the very beginning, that nobody beat the thing to death during the break-in period, etc. My 2005 has over 100K miles on it already, and no problems. If I were going to buy a used one..I'd buy MINE! But with 100K miles, and reliability being an absolute necessity for me, it will soon be time to replace it. It doesn't need to be replaced just yet, but I'm concerned that if I wait too long, there won't be a new Saab to replace it with, and I'll have to buy something else. Yuck.
So, for me, the issue is: I want a new Saab, to take me through the next four years or so; new Saabs might not be available for all that much longer; I'd like to get the best possible price; how do I do it? The general consensus here seems to be that prices are not going to get much lower than they are now, which is encouraging.
