Someone's going to be very happy!!!

This morning I ran by the Sewell Saab in Grapevine to get the state inspection done.  It wasn't very busy so I talked with the service advisor for a while.  He asked me about the saabaru, just if I was happy with it, how is rides, etc.  I told him good on all counts.

I then pointed outside and told him they have a diamond in the rough.  I was pointing to their 06 Silver Aero 5MT.  I told him that people online said that they've called the dealership inquiring about it and they're always told no go on selling it.  We talk a bit more and he says I be back in a bit.  He comes back and says he went to go talk to one of the Sales Managers.  The sales manager says that Aero is gaining miles so they'll now talk with people interested in buying it!!!   eek

So someone needs to call down to the dealership ASAP and put in an offer!!  I'm not interested since I'm happy with mine, but someone better thank me when they buy this off of their hands.  biggrin

I know some of us have had it as a loaner, but for those that don't know it's got the 17" wheels, HID, and sunroof.  I can't remember if it has the cold package but it is cloth.  Now three things I see that would need to be addressed are a blemish on the bumber where someone backed into something, two of the rims look to have some been curbed a bit, and the seats are dirty as hell and will need to be deep cleaned.  But when I had driven it, the engine and tranny felt pretty solid.

The service advisor gave me his card and said to send anyone interested his way.  His name is Orin Gedrose, Assistant Service Manager.  Number is 817-912-3038.

Here are the only two pics I snapped on my phone while I was there, and some random ones from when I had it as a loaner for the hell of it (don't show much though):

I would never buy a loaner. It's like buying a former rental car. God only knows how it's been driven and maintained.

Exactly.  Especially after seeing how Doug treats them.

I'd buy spiff's car before I would buy a loaner.
