New Salem Saab – December sale stock list

1. Wow, life is not fair. Great prices! A 9-5 Aero 6 for around $40,000 in the US, a car which in The Netherlands starts at EUR 73,500 (thanks to our car unfriendly tax system). But fortunately we pay only 52% income tax here. 🙂 Nevertheless, hope to be able to place my order for the beautiful new 9-5 areo in the coming weeks. No a 6 cilinder but a 4 with manual gearbox. Also that is a fantastic car. And looks as great…

   • Huh? Only $73,500? I can top that. Here in Denmark, where th incometaxes are about the same as in the Netherlands, I’ll have to pay $126,000.- for a base 9-5 Aero…

     Cheers!

     • No, it was 73,500 Euro, not Dollars. 😉

       • Doh! :o)
         Well, it’s stil EUR 96,600.- in Denmark…

         Cheers!

         • Yes, I know it’s expensive in Denmark with cars. Right now I sit in “East Denmark” (or Skåne if you want to call it that) and do know about the downsides with taxation in Denmark. But still I know you are a great country.. 😉

         • Wow,

           We ought to start an export-import business selling Saabs back to Europe. Cars.com lists 189 used Saabs within 500 miles of me that sell for $8000 US or less and 297 used Saabs that sell for less than $15,000 US.

           I would guess that used Saabs in Europe go for quite a bit of money as well if these are the prices of new cars.

         • Seems like the business plan should be to sell all the new cars in the US. Let them depreciate to about 25% in four or five years and send them back to Europe where the import tax on the depreciated value would be very small.

           What a racket!

   • Well AFAIK you have one of highest salary levels in the world too …

   • Only 52% income tax? Here in the US the Republicans just went ballistic and refused to allow the top income tax go to 39% from 36%. Our billionaires still get to pay only 36% on their income and I think just 15% (could be 17%) for capital gains.

     This is why the US is in so much trouble. The richest of the rich pay nothing in taxes and the top 1% own about half of the US wealth. The bottom 50% own about 1% of the wealth.

     • Well paying half of what you make toward taxes sucks, regardless of whatever the government uses the “funds” toward. Rather take that 39 or 36 percent and spend it how I please.

2. What??? A convertible, fully equipped for 35k?
   Dollars? Not Euros?
   I think I’ll get my next Saab in the U.S.

   😉

3. ***Better NEWS~~ ANY CURRENT Saab Owner will recieve an additional $1000 off listed prices from above for Customer Loyalty.

   We would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas. This has been one heck of a year for all of us. New Salem Saab Turns 50 years old here in about 8 days. I wasn’t sure at times if this goal would be achieved. But thanks to everyone here, SW, VM, JA and all the rest……..WE’RE GOING TO MAKE IT!!!

   Skoll ~ To Saab, our customers and our followers. Long live Saab!!

   • Just want to thank you for your tireless sales efforts Darryl. This is an amazing push and I will definitely be looking to cross the state to give you business when I’m in the market soon for a couple new Saabs. Happy 50th bday for New Salem.

   • Unfortunately I’m not shopping for a new Saab at this time, but your post will affect the way I buy my next Saab. Would I drive all the way from Texas to New York to buy a car?

     Maybe.

     I really like my current 2008 9-3. The price of the new 9-5 does affect how soon I buy my next Saab. As you know my current 9-3 could last a long time, but your advertisements have me thinking. Thank you.

4. What a great idea and wonderful execution.

   Let’s hope these units sell fast. If anyone has a MY11 turbo4 with a manual in jet black metallic they would like to part with…kindly advise. Looking for a 27 month lease with 15K per year and no money down. I qualify for Saab loyalty. Thank you!

   Oh and by the way – I would like to see one of those Aero convertibles with the sun roof!

   Happy Holidays everyone! Long Live Saab!!

   • LOL….well….its has the biggest sunroof or any car!!

   • Hi John,

     I have 2 manuals available in My11 Turbo 4 Manuals. Colors are diamond silver and Carbon Metallic. Great Pricing for them. visist our site or call me 856-829-8200 ask for Denny.

5. Is this list being printed up in the NY Times? You’d probably sell out of all those SAABS if you did. 🙂

6. John

7. WOW!!

8. RM1 / 2010 / 9-5 Aero Sedan / YS3GR4BJ6A4000993

   The above vehicle is legitimately the first 2010 9-5 Aero Sedan to be delivered to a US dealer! A Saab Owner can buy this car for $39,995. The MSRP is $53,855. Contact the Sales Department at Reinertsen Motors, (973) 627-0616 or e-mail [email protected]

   Here’s a link to our website posting of this vehicle:

9. Too bad I have a 2009 9-3 Aero, or I’d be RUNNING to New Salem Saab from Vancouver……

10. Holy smokes. these deals are amazing…and extremely tempting. Does a Volvo S60 owner qualify for Saab Owner loyalty bucks? 😉

    • No.

11. Is zero percent financing still available with this pricing?

12. @dan. Yes 0% for 72 months is available. However we cannot use all of the incentives on a lease that we have in the sale prices. Saab offer the incentives OR the 0%. In the calculation it is better to use the incentives then the 0%. The savings is greater.

    Good question!

    Dc

13. I suspect this was probably covered in other posts. Do some of the new 9-5s being imported to the US have manual transmissions?

    • Yes…a 2011 Saab 9-5 T4 you can purchase in a manual transmission!

14. Good morning! Sale is open. Lol. We are digging out 12″+ snow and still coming!! What a start to the week huh? What an awesome day to test drive the XWD 9-5! Saab stable.. Saab up! Snows down.. I’m plowing…. For most of the day.. SW – no snow there I’ll bet! Haha

    • Saabs & Snow
      
      smile…

15. @Darryl. Good luck on the sale. Hope most of your cars get new happy owners.

16. though these prices are great, they are at the same time depressing.

    • Yeah, it striked me as well that this mega sale was somewhat depressing. That said; I don’t know much about how they sell cars in the US – so for what I know this might be quite normal. But if this is a result of bad SAAB sales it is somewhat disturbing to see that new SAABs are dumped out on the market as ‘give aways’. If I’m right this might help Seller in the short run, but maybe damage SAAB in the long run?

      As mentioned, I don’t have a clue about how they sell cars in the US, so my concerns might be wrong. I really hope so, and then I apologize.

      Cheers from Norway!

      Always on the longest road home with my SAAB. Always, regardless weather conditions.

17. The entire NE in the US got hammered in snow last night…. Its been a tough start to the sale…. figures…..

    However, if you come in today you’l get a FREE snow cone with any flavor you’d like.

    Somebody has to smile…..this weather is good if you’re a polar bear!

    going back to plowing soon…plenty of that to do…. 🙂

    • Somebody has to smile…..this weather is good if you’re a polar bear!

      ……. or a Scandinavian 🙂

      Cheers from Norway!

      Always on the longest road home when out there with my SAAB. Always!

18. Seriously, would a re-import be possible? What taxes would hit when a bargain 9-5 reach Sweden again?

    • I do not know what the expense would be to re-import it back to Sweden…Thats an excellent question. I’ll have to do some reasearch but if anyone knows…please chime in…

19. What a great way to get the word out on new SAABs here in the USA. I’ve been waiting for this. As a decades long owner of new SAABs I’m interested in the Silver 2010 Aero. I’m wondering dealers, with regard to your state licensing fees and state taxes, how do you accomodate out-of-state buyers who intend to drive the cars home and register them in another state ?

    • Thanks.. The other dealers and I are trying anything we can think of to help you and Saab. Most States offer an in-transit type plate which can get you to your state with the paperwork for registration. I know in NYS I can do this…

      We’ll find a way…. promise!! 🙂

22. I stopped in to New Salem last night and spoke with Doug (again). If there ever was a time to buy a Saab, it’s right now people. Literally any color/option/model combination is available! This is the last time you’ll be able to buy a new Saab for $21500, no doubt! Oh if only I didn’t already have a car loan!

    And Darryl, I stopped in last night around 5:30 and the dealership looked so dark from the road I wasn’t sure you were open. Turn some lights on! 🙂

    • Good to have you here. I must have just missed you, sorry. It was a day as you know..up early, plowing all day and over coming hurdles due to the snow.
      Today is a much better day. Sun is out and I can see the parking lot.

      The lights have been an issue. We do not control the other building next store. that building has its own set up for the lights. So we can only turn on our side….Thats makes it more dim then we should have. However, I did go and change the timer so they come on earlier and more come on together then before. So glad you stopped in. Doug is awesome isn’t he?

      Here’s some more Awesome –
      1. Ian mentioned above a way to get another $500 off by being a member of any of the US Saab clubs. Ill double check to make sure that is valid. I’m pretty sure it is. Remember SCNA has to have a copy of the membership card not the form. So Ian is great to offer to expidite these.
      2. The current Incentives END Jan 3, so everyone has until Monday night to decide.
      3. Doug and I have decided to come in the store on Jan 1 and be here in the event anyone wants one of these specials. So NEWS YEARS DAY……New Salem Saab will be open for Sales Only from about 9am to about 3pm. We are closing early Friday at 1pm. But Saturday Doug and I will be here for several hours to assist Saab prospects and friends.

      We have received many calls from all over the US and even two from Canada. Denny at Secor Saab posted some information on some cars he has. Basically, the rebates and incentives are extremely strong. In fact I haven’t seen the mass of purchase programs combined with these types of incentives ever. Usually its one or the other.

      Another great community thing we at SU should be doing and this has been mentioned several times be several visitors, help New Salem, SCNA and all the US dealers and world wide dealers to promote Saab specials by telling your friends at supper, at the fueling station, at the grocery store. Drag them into a Saab dealer for a test drive. Tell them about our story, VM and JA, Tell them about all of the seeds Saabs has planted this year alone. The BMW engine deal, the recent transmission company to signing up Canada, China and many other countries. 2010 wasn’t a harvest year….it wasn’t suppose to be… no matter what we “wanted”. However what we have done is plant a lot of very fertile seeds for growth. Saab Seeds. We need you to continue to help all of us plant them. They’ll grow is the strangest of places. Water them and nuture and ta-da, you are now a Saab sales agent. Saab should give each new agent a Saab Sales agent pin or something.

      It interests me to see these poles SW puts up for the 9-5, but more how as a group we crush them. Why don’t we put together a SU SAAB Squad/SCNA SAAB Squad/Saab Squad – which seeks out not only polls, all things Saab related. The team could then call in the SAAB troups when something that was found is good to support and bad to re-direct/take action? I know we do this here all the time. But imagine what a focused group who’s mission was to change perception and spread knowledge about Saab, did nothing but this as a work week? (a totally focused and directed effort) Could you imagine what SW could do as the SAAB Squad leader where he only did this….not this and his day job….but just this?

      We are running this sale this week with four other dealers involved. The information we were able to spread world-wide in less then a week (we put this together with three weeks before Sale week) just blows my mind. With Saab customer support (and we may need to perk this (like a referral bonus)) we can send information nearly instantly. What concerned me some, was the amount of Saab people that did not know about these incentives and rebates. Geez, if you’re a Saab owner and did not know, then a conquest owner certainly didn’t know. One of the tasks of the SAAB Squad could be to focus a part of their time posting this information in those channels. A forum costs like $500 for the year to be a sponsor and then you can post infinate amount fo information about your store and products. I have a done this in a few places locally on some of the forums. One of them has enough activity that the site owners gave me my own section in the blog. So now I post daily and run monthly specials. What great interaction it is. Direct and honest with my customers. Exactly how I want it as the company owner and if I were the customer. Its like having your personal butcher or grocer again. I know about them as people and that helps me understand what they want…cause they tell me straigth away……just like all of us here on SU.. The power of imagination……

      Saab Seeds
      SAAB Squad
      Saab Troups

      Ok – Im ready….Lets make it a great Day!

23. There’s no information about the campaign on the New Salem website!

    • It’s there. Under the “Truth or Dare” sales even graphic, along with a few other graphics at the top of the page.

24. Unfortunately most of these cars will stay unsold unless a huge 30% sale. Saab’s reputation is at this time very very bad and e.g. Audi and Bmw are oversolding Saab all the time. The all-new 9-3 is not coming soon and we are suffering lack of time.

    Every saabists natuarally hope that situation would be better. However future seems not to be very bright for Saab, That’s a sad fact.

25. Hmmm… no prices on the loaners. Lots of droptops on the lot!

26. Man o’ man I’ve got SAAB Fever bad. Been looking at a low-milage 2008 Saab 9-3 Sedan (black on black) with weather/premium package for some time.

    Wish some of these amazing Saab dealerships were closer to home (East TN).

    Best interest to find one used (2008+) or new for around $20,000 (loan)?

    Any replies appreciated, thanks.
