You already know this car better than the dealer. With an extented warrenty, you cannot go wrong. Just make sure that all the "fixes", from the Saab Bulletins have been done to the car. This engine is the best Saab has ever made, and properly serviced (Meaning: Oil and plugs), it'll run several 100k miles. Don't worry too much about the timingbelt, it doesn't have one. It has a chain, which you don't need to think about for the next 100k or so. Congrats on a fast, fun, safe oh, and fast car... ;o)' Cheers!
