The last new car I bought had 100 mi on it. 200 mi isn't really that
unusual. A salesman driving it might be one explanation, but just as likely
a few customers drove it sedately through a test circuit with a salesman by
their side. 25 to 50 miles could have been added during dealer prep, and
they most likely drove it on the road to get it from the dealer they swapped
with who could have been many miles away considering the scarcity of Saab
dealers in certain areas. Don't assume that would pay the added cost of
flatbed towing a new car.
If you got a good deal, I wouldn't bother haggling any more on price. One
thing you should specify is that the mileage part of the warranty starts at
200 so that with a 50,000 mi warranty, your warranty ends at 50,200 mi.
Since your first oil change is coming up shortly, make them include that
also. I assume they will provide a tankfull of gas as part of the deal too.
I hope my ideas are helpful; good luck and happy driving with your new Saab.

Doesn't Saab (or GM) include the first 3 years of scheduled maintenance
anyways?
Thanks,

Yes, sorry I missed that when I checked the website. It's been a while
since I owned a new Saab and I didn't know if they were still doing that.
