Buying a new SportCombi Posted by MI-Roger [Email] ![]() ![]() |
After trying to convince my wife for the past 6 months that she needs to get rid of her old van due its age and decreasing reliability, she announced to me Friday night that WE need to get rid of the van because it is starting to look very old. (It is a 1995 Chevy Astro w/ 110,000 miles, and has started that downward spiral of major components needing to be replaced.)
We just got back from the Saab Dealer and she likes a 9-3 SportCombi in Parchment Silver best, 2.0T with auto. I have enjoyed 167,000+ miles of trouble free ownership with my 9-5, and I expect the same with this new car. I assume most maintenance items are similar, i.e. 5k oil changes with quality synthetic and filters, and don't skip the major interval maintenance.
Are there any special items, Dealer installed accessories, etc., we should also get at time of purchase?
Anything special I should know to avoid an unpleasant future "Gotcha"?
The car we saw came equipped with the Premium Pkg, Roof Rails, Moon Roof, as well as the obligatory seat heaters (in MI) and afore mentioned automatic tranny.
Thanks.
