Well, it depends. With a leased car, you have a known service history. If it's had all the scheduled work done on time (normal for a leased car), and if it's been well-behaved, there aren't any problems to inherit...you just let the lease holder pay off the depreciation hit for you. > It's good to hear your car has been repaired well but I'd like to know, from > you and others who have has their cars longer, if once the "small" issues > are fixed do they stay fixed or do they reoccur?

The Swedish workmen who build the car seem to take extreme care in making sure build quality is excellent, going back at least 45 years to the oldest Saab I own. It's not in their culture to do things poorly. Yes, that's a sweeping generalization, but I can't think of a single product from Sweden that is engineered or built poorly.
