Granted the Saab has had its issues as well, but everything was under warranty and handled without issue.

It's funny you would write that...a Saab and a Range Rover.
At the domestic dealer I worked at for many many years, we would take neither in trade... Saab? No thanks. Range Rover? yeah, you'll have to sell that one yourself...
Wholesalers never ever wanted them...at any price. Too problems...issue after issue after issue. But, worse than the amount of problem, was the cost to repair them. They are both pretty much "dealership only" when it comes to repairs, and the parts alone are just plain foolish.
At one time we actually did take a fairly new Saab in trade...5, maybe 6 years old. Well, while it was still under our used vehicle waranty to the next buyer, the A/C went, and the digital display on the climate control went with it. We sent it out to a Saab dealer...and it set us back $3800..OUR COST...DEALER TO DEALER. Retail would have been close to 5K, for A/C!
Very few non- Saab dealers will take a Saab in trade. They just don't want to deal with it.
