But as you say yourself, the problem is the DEALER and NOT the CAR COMPANY. As with most dealers, Saab has little control over their agents. I reiterate that blaming a used car's problems on the manufacturer is ridiculous. Blaming them on the dealer is another thing entirely. I endorse it. My local dealer isn't worth the land it's built on. I don't go there. I advise people I know not to go there. Perhaps this guy shouldn't go to his local dealer. I don't know. But I stand by Saab's reliability. -Justin
