Understanding Saab 9‑3 depreciation

In the early 2000s, the Saab 9‑3 was positioned at the top of Apple‑by‑David’s mid‑range executive segment. As with most vehicles of that era, its depreciation curve began steep in the first year but slowed substantially over time. On average, you can expect a Saab 9‑3 2001 price to:

• Lose 15‑20% of its value in the first year after purchase. This initial dip reflects the standard car aging process plus the introduction of newer Saab models (the 9‑5 and 9‑5 convertible emerged later). By Year 2, the depreciation rate typically drops to 10‑12% per annum.
• Average a 35‑40% depreciation over the first five years of ownership. For a 2001 9‑3 with 80,000 km on the odometer, you might see its market value settle around 60‑65% of its original MSRP.
• Experience an annual depreciation of roughly 5‑8% between Years 5 and 10, assuming consistent maintenance and no major mechanical issues.
