We own a yr2000 9-3. We live in a rural area of Southern Saskatchewan. The nearest Saab dealer is 800 kilometres (500 miles) away. There is an independent garage 350 km ( 200 miles) away in the nearest large city. Saab told us that the warranty would be valid as long as we documented all required services even if they were not done at a Saab dealership or even at a GM dealership. We had no troubles (none) for the first three and a half years. We are now at 145,000 km. The only repair was the replacement of the throttle body at 125,000 km. Even this did not leave us stranded; the car went into limp home mode and we drove to the indy for service. So, it is a gamble: potential inconvenience vs the joy of owning a great car.
