I hate when I hear that. I did a bit of reading on the subject, and when my car was in for some service under warranty and the dealer suggested replacing the belt, I said "How do the pulleys look". He replaced them under warranty at 40K. I asked him later how often *he* would replace his... about every 40-50K was the answer. Only about $80 in parts if you do it yourself. >$200 later, I'm up and running.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but Saab repairs are not exactly cheap - no European car is. Better stock up on a little repair fund. I love my Saab but I try to be realistic about the repair/maint cost :-( Bob
