I've never owned a Saab until I purchased a used '99 9-3 a couple years ago, but am considering replacing it before it kills my bank account. I've already needed to replace the serpentine belt and associated pulleys at 50,000mi, the DI cassette at 55,000mi and the head gasket at 63,000 mi.
I really like so much about Saabs, however, the reliability of the car worries me. I seems to me that it is terribly early for such major components to fail. Is this common for the 9-3 model, or just problems with "first model year" the 9-3 was mfg'd? I might consider a newer 9-3, or perhaps the new design 2003 and up models, if I knew the bugs have been worked out.
I'm desparate for good advice! Thanks, guys.
