I feel your pain, but 5000 mile service isn't a "scheduled service" according to Saab. It's optional, and that's why they have you pay for it. I think the main reason they are picking up the tab on the 10,000 intervals is so the lease returns have at least had something done in the three years or so of renting. I guess the prevailing attitude is that if you are going to turn the car in after a couple of years, why pay any money for service. The free maintenance has caught on in a number of car makes, but it doesn't equate to a free oil change whenever you want it. There aren't any new car warranties that I know of that cover all oil changes, does Audi? I bet their package is similar to Saab, only certain services at regular intervals.
