Default and the next car will be....

Saab 9-3 2.0t

:eek3: :eek5:

what a friggin car.

story: yesterday holly and i went element shopping. we hit up a big dealership and they had a few elements but all were out of our range. so, i happened to notice a silver '03 9-3 ARC and asked about it. next thing you know, im in the salesmans office crunching numbers. they were having a tough time making it happen for me (cuz im a hardass) and finally said "look, why dont you take the car home for a little while, drive it, see if you even like it and maybe we can work it out" if they could've shaved the price by another 1500 bucks or so, the car was coming home. VERY comfortable, very responsive, accelleration was wonderful, interior was luxurious (enough)

gonna keep looking til i find one i can afford. there is a 9-3 ARC nearby (03 wil similar milage) and their asking price (at a dealership) is 1000 bucks less than what this place would go down to. i should be able to get that one where i need it.

oh yeah and we found an element today that is looking pretty promising :yay:

Who says that about Hondas :ugh:


Saabs are pieces of crap. Well, I'm sure they've improved now, but still...

I'm pretty sure that GM owns Saab, and not Ford. Volvo is owned by Ford.
