First, I just wanted to thank everybody who has responded to my previous posts. they have been very helpful. Here's what I'm looking at: 1997 Saab 9000 Aero with 41k miles. Interior looks nice, not worn. Exterior, I only found one little scratch. Tires didn't look worn (they were rotated once). All service records available, the only 'problem' was radio interferance which was fixed. (the car was leased by a company). Here's where I start to question. The first oil change was done at 5k, and then approximately every 15k after that. I can buy this car for somewhere between $18.5 and 20k. Should I seriously reconsider getting this car for this one reason that the oil hasn't been changed regularly? It seems like an awful long interval for going w/out changing the oil. Any advice, or suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sean
