How long does a turbo engine last, in terms of milage? I am considering buying a 2000 Saab 9-3 hatchback with 68K km's. It has a 2.0 Litre Turbo engine. Also the lug nuts on the wheels are rusted. A friend of mine told me that this because the car might have been sitting in the snow and the rust peeled the chrome off. The guy who is selling said it had to do with "percussion" tools when changing the tires.
