That' fine for your short term plan, but what about the longevity of the car's engine for the next owner? This type of mentality sabotages used Saabs and contributes, in part, to their poor reliablity record.
I'm not trying to change your habits, but consider this when you or someone you know is looking to by a used car (Saab) and the previous owner did just the minimum maintainance.
My brother-n-law treated his '93 525 the same way and at 115k miles he started having engine trouble.
Surely you can afford $30-$35 dollars every few months... right?
The next owner of your Saab will appreciate it.
Regards.
