When deciding which optional extras to tick, bear in mind that the best deal new SAAB isn't necessarily the model with lots of extras (despite what many new SAAB dealers try to tell you). The fact is that most new SAABs lose money faster on the optional extras than on the SAAB itself - so the extras you choose (even at the new SAAB best price) doesn't necessarily offer the best value. When it comes to ex-demo SAABs or ready-built showroom new SAABs for sale at a main dealer, the specification has already been fixed and cannot be changed; so if you need a new SAAB from stock, be spec-flexible. New SAAB dealers tend to pre order stock they can sell easily - typically Silver, Grey or Black SAABs with few or no options at all. The best discount new SAABs are normally specified like that - ie popular colours with few options. Car finance is another consideration when choosing to pay extra for optional equipment. If you buy a new SAAB on the best PCP deal or SAAB leasing / contract hire package you can find, the options may ruin your saving; this is because handing the SAAB back at the end loses the FULL value of the extra equipment you paid for. To avoid this potential loss, you have three possibilities: 1) select a higher SAAB trim level ie Sport over an S; 2) don't order expensive options; 3) buy your new SAAB on HP or with a personal loan (where you always own the SAAB and the optional extras).
