I have owned a saab conv since 1992 It has been nothing but headaches,the only reason I kept it is because the top goes down. last year I put in my 4th yes 4th automatic trans. They are notorious for chewing up transmissions. The car has its first head gasket at 35k. Some small stuff 4 exhaust systems many sets of brakes. Bring the car to the dealer, and the bills are huge. The leaks are a constant problem,right now I have given up I have oil,antifreeze, powersterring leaks and i am sick of bringing to get them fixed because more come back. They tell me the newer Saab ar not as much grief, but my daughter has a 2000 and she was happy she just leased it. Whatever you do , do your homework and dont listen the these so called saab experts in here. good luck papa
