Tell me it is "utterly bomb-proof" after you have over 200,000 miles and 10 or more years on the car :-) Most cars these days will last 60,000 miles and 3 years - even a Ford. However, it appears you are very happy with the Saab and that is good. One can only hope GM and Saab have improved the quality of their cars. I suspect the car knew you bought the extended warranty and will not have any problems as long as the warranty is in effect. I had a Ford like this - as soon the warranty ended, it fell apart. pablo wrote: > Other than the SID, my '02 9-3 has been utterly bomb-proof thus far.
