I love that they kept the Bernie sticker.
P.S. The car is worth $8,000 on KBB in Excellent Condition.

My Saab is for sale!
I bought it with around 38,000 miles last summer for around $9,300. When I got the $5,000 repair estimate from three different mechanics, I sold it to the third mechanic for $2,500. Now it's for sale for $11,900. I hope the place makes money out of it, but 1) the Carfax will show that it has had five owners and 2) what if the electrical gremlin emerges again?
I love that they kept the Bernie sticker.

What was the nature of the electrical gremlin?
@halifaxf1fan: It's still painful. 3 modules needed to be replaced. Car wouldn't start and transmission would not shift. 1 of 3 modules couldn't be located anywhere. Even if all 3 could be found, it would cost $5,000+ for parts and labor with no guarantee that they would fix the problems. Confirmed by my Saab specialist, former Saab dealer that still works on a lot of Saabs, and another reputable Saab guy.
That's terrible. The downside of cars today is the total reliance on these electronic parts, they should never leave a car undriveable like that. My neighbour's BMW had his ABS module fail and they charged him a bundle. So far my Saab 9-5's have been clear of this, knock on wood.
Good luck with your 'new' Acura.
@halifaxf1fan: Thanks! Who do you think will do well in the F1 season?
Well after just the first qually of the year it looks to be a repeat of the last two seasons unfortunately. The ridiculous engine 'token' rules are really tough, even Ferrari isn't able to make a dent in the Mercedes advantage. So its Merc and Hamilton for 2016.
Ha Rosberg stole a win when Hamilton botched his start. His streak is 4 in a row now.
@halifaxf1fan: I'm wearing my Nico jersey all day.

Really? $2,500? That seems a bit harsh... Wouldn't the dealer give you more on trade for the Acura Wagon? (Plus they would have more resources to fix or auction) or did you try ebay perhaps? or a Saab Forum? Hope you can declare the entire loss in taxes.
@Francisco: I don't think the dealer would take a car that doesn't start. I wanted it gone from my life ASAP.
