I feel your pain Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Sun, 1 Sep 2013 19:30:40 In Reply to: replacement for 9000, william, Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:37:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm also getting old to be spending so much time under the hood and under the car. I love my 9000 but having to do things like rebuilding the AC system and then chase down phantom OBD-II faults (both this summer's projects, the latter still in process) gets tiring, and I still have to fix the broken driver's door handle, fix the driver's seat heater which is broken yet again (seat back grid this time, oh joy!), etc.
In a lot of ways it would be great to have something new that has a warranty, but I hate the idea of car payments -- or of taking so much money out of the bank to purchase something that depreciates so quickly. I've toyed with the idea of just getting something cheap to minimize payment book pain but am pretty spoiled after driving Saabs for 30 years, don't know if I could really see myself in something like a Hyundai Accent or the like.
