A 4-5 year old 9-3 seems like an excellent value right now, as used cars go. But what problems (if any) should I worry about with these cars? At what mileage? What does it cost to fix? Are any particular years better or worse? What gas mileage should I expect? Should I definately get a manual, or are the automatics OK? Finally, this would be my first non-BMW for a really long time. As a BMW fan, am I really better off with a 4-5 year old Saab, than a 7-10 year old BMW? Matt O.
