Oil has always been changed every 3-5k with name brand conventional oil. I've always changed the coolant every two years. I have all the records since new, so I should check if the previous owner did this as well. My guess is yes, as I just replaced the blower motor and did the heater core while I was down there and it was original. Driving style is typical, though probably a bit more highway. While it still drives well, the paint and leather are looking rough and I'm starting to get some rust.
Saabs can obviously last a long time and my car is very reliable, but I've know people with everything from Volvos to Buicks in the high 200k range, so I think it has more to do with taking care of the car...most people just don't want a 20 year old car with a ton of miles so they just get driven into the ground.
