On the V6, they are a critical service item. I think the interval is 30,000 miles - if the owner can't provide paperwork showing that it's been done, be very wary and get it changed right away. > I have never had a Saab and am not > sure what to look for in the vehicle.

I've got a '99 9-5 sedan with the 4-cyl, and am extremely happy with it. If you're into performance enhancements, the 4 is a better starting point than the 6. Lots of room, handles extremely well, and especially if you get the premium sound system, it's awesome. Drive it, see if you like it, and see if the service records are well-kept. The 9-5 is a lot of fun to drive, and handles the Wisconsin winters no problem; NS should be fairly similar, I would think. Hope this helps, Dave Hinz
