Hi, I'm Andy Caddick and I've been buying, trading and selling all sorts of Saab's for the last 20 years.
December is not the busiest time of year for the motor trade, by the middle of the month prospective purchasers are very elusive and dark evenings are a turn off for most privately advertised cars.

What's HOT

Late 9000s with low mileage are fetching book value, with Anniversary's especially in favour, with the last of these now hitting auctions (lease companies sell vehicles 3-4 years).
9-5's have started to become plentiful and offer excellent value starting from as little as £7000 for early base cars with around 100k miles. Estates are still hard to find at less than £13000, with main dealers holding most stock.
900 classics have always had a very strong following and seem to generate lots of interest from £500 bargains up to low mileageT16s at £5000, with black and silver being the most popular colours, and leather adding £500.

Abbot racing T7

I bought one at sensible money (68k miles, 2 owners), priced it up at £3995.00 at 9.30 am, sold 3pm the same day. Pity it's the only one I've ever seen, and doubt if I'll get another.

What's NOT

9000s with massive mileages, cars with 150k miles are struggling to find homes, people seem to be forgetting that Saab built their reputation on longevity!
If you're thinking of buying one of these cars they will probably have had the steering rack replaced etc. by now and offer inexpensive motoring.

Convertibles

If you're thinking ahead to summer, now is the time to buy, with most auction cars not fetching reserve and most dealers holding stock. Remember that April is only 4 months away and all these cars will then be in demand with little chance of a bargain.

Summary

If you're buying, haggle! There are discounts and deals everywhere. If you're selling, cheaper cars should find homes quite easily and even a 9-3 cab will find a buyer if priced realistically.

Happy hunting
Andy
