What is a realistic lifetime for this vintage SAAB? It has 165K and I change oil between 3000 and 5000 miles. Good shape. Runs beautifully. I've driven other samples like mine that seemed pretty rough. I've replaced the fuel pump, fuel computer, and a rim drive. I do not think the clutch has ever been replaced (bought it at 115K in '93). I know this is difficult to answer since there are many variables; but I've heard of SAABs with 300K+ miles on them. I'd love to drive mine to 250K and wonder if that is a realistic expectation, given proper care. Also, are there any worthwhile suspension mods for my car? Dave
