2005 Saab 9-2x Aero?

[VinylxScratches]

Anyone ever drive one? I think they look sweet.

I'm trying to find a semi rare car but still be maintanable and I understand that this is a Saabaru with a nicer interior from talking to people.

I found one with 55,000 miles for 11,900 but I think I could talk them down. AWD and automatic which is ok with me! Please don't post about getting a manual.

Aero or Linear?

Aero

I used to own a Linear. It was a good car. Engine and drivetrain was Subaru so that was bulletproof. Saab did the leather seats and some other interior furnishings. Overall a good buy at the time. I think you should be paying less than 11.9 though.

Indeed. The front grill is totally Saab so it looks great. The rear is hella ugly though.

 

[VinylxScratches]

Would I have to worry about it being a Saab though IE more expensive to fix?

 

[NutBucket]

Really the only difference is cosmetic. Being that it's a lot less common you may have more difficulty finding body parts if you're ever in an accident. Other than that I see no reason it would be any more expensive to own.

Heads up,
There are only 200 06 92-X made with a manual transmission. I'd say that it will be a great collectable car 10-20 years from now

The auto is a 4spd and not exactly wonderful but it would work. I wouldn't bother bringing it to a Saab dealer, I would think most Subaru dealers would work on it if not independent ones will of course. Apart from the cosmetic changes it got a faster steering rack and mildly revised suspension setup from the normal wrx. It's a better wrx than a stock wrx and probably better taken care of.

I think a majority of the current Subaru fleet looks better than the 9-2X Aero.
Now, the AWD 9-3 Aero? OMG that's pretty sexy. It has a nice sound too. There was a guy who had one on campus, and I loved it.

Is the 9-3 at all sourcing any Subaru in it, or is the 9-2X the only model that is a Saabaru? Because the base WRX is far more attractive than every other Saab vehicle imho, though on looks alone, the 9-3X Aero tops it.

i have a linear and i echo these comments, i paied 10k for mine in '08, has less then 30k miles on it

11.9 @ 55k is not a good deal

i get mine serviced at my local GM dealer, however this might only work because he lives next door

How much do you think it's worth? 9K?

Edit: Subaru WRX/Saabaru Aero should not be driven with an automatic...
Do not do that.

 

[VinylxScratches]

Why yes it should, because I don't want a manual.

No Subaru in the 9-3 at all.

 

[VinylxScratches]

What do you think is a appropriate price to offer? 9k? less?

 

[theeedude]

I sort of wish I bought one when Saab was putting $6K on the hood and you could get the turbo one for under 20K. Ended up getting a Mazda3, which I like, but every now and then I go to Tahoe and AWD would have been nice.

2.0 low-end torque are mutually exclusive so yes the manual does make a big difference That is, unless you plan on modding.
