It was Scott's GM.

I wanted a Saab 9-3 but being 2010 there were not many of the refreshed 2008's left on the used markets and brand new they were still asking well over $40K in Toronto. I knew Saab was done but there was, and still is, three excellent Saab indies within 15 minutes of my house.

So i see ads in the USA for BRAND NEW 9-3 wagons for $24K. Like WHAT THE HELL. So i start poking about and SCOTT had 3 wagons, $16K each with under 25,000 miles.

By the time I paid all the canadian taxes etc it set me back $20K but still way cheaper than it would have been here. Plus we spent a weekend in Philly

I still drive the car today, all in it has cost me the equivalent of $243 month which is a steal.
