John,
Being on the "right" coast, I can't really help much with dealers in SF,
but a few thoughts about your impending purchase.
If you buy an '03 or later 9-3 it will be the "sport sedan", which is a
much better car than the '02 or earlier.
If you buy an '03 or later with less than 50k miles it will still be
covered under the factory warranty.
If you buy a certified preowned it will have a bumper to bumper warranty
to 6 years/100k miles.
Why I'm mentiuoning the warranties is that you may do better pricewise
buying the car from afar and having it shipped. So long as it's covered
by the factory warranty you don't have as much to lose.
BTW, we have 2 '03 sport sedans in the family (mine and my daughters)
and we are very pleased with both.
YMMV
