Usually if you pronounce Sara as Sah-rah, you also prn. Cara and Tara and Zara this way too, as we do here in Aus and also in the UK. It seems to only be an American (and Canadian? how do you pronounce these names in Canada? Any other countries say them this way?) thing to say them as Care-, Sare-, Tare- and Zare-uh. Oh and Clara too. The Clair-uh prn. seems very odd to me, but I've heard quite a few people in the US prn. it this way. Also, in Australia Haley, Halley would be pronounced Hah-lee, not Hayley as it seems to get in the US.

I'm pretty sure it's just a regional thing. Ella has a Sara at her school, prn. same as Sarah, but Sara's mum is American.
