Car financing: the Saab 9-3
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no Saab 9-3 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the Saab 9-3 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
A buyer's checks
Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
Reading the spec sheet
The EPA does not rate this model year for fuel use; heavier trucks and vans are often not rated.
Best uses
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits commuters, couples and business trips.
Space and size
As a compact car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
A longer test drive
If the 9-3 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent the 9-3 first, and buy only if it fits your life. Drive the 9-3 on your commute before you commit to it.
Picking a year and a trim
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Next step
Tell us the car you are considering, and we will help where we can.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a Saab 9-3 from us first.
Ask us about the Saab 9-3
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Saab 9-3 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Saab 9-3
Does CarmaCars sell the Saab 9-3?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Saab 9-3 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
