Dear All,
I've had 900s for almost 20 years and I'm looking at 9-3s now and could use some advice.
I've read up on the sludge issue, and I've watched my buddy put a ton of money into his Viggen chasing down check engine light issues and various sensors.
That said, I don't want to drive anything else but a Saab, so I"m preparing to take the plunge.
A lot of the cars I'm seeing for sale, particularly in the mid.-atlantic/NYC area, are without any sort of service history.
Aside from check engine lights, and checking that the PCV update was done/for valve cover oil leaks, is there anything else I should pay attention too?
I'm particularly concerned with issues regarding the automatic transmissions as I've always driven standards (but may opt for an automatic now if the rest of the car is solid).
Thanks,
Devin
