Saab USA just bought back our 2003 9-3 Arc to avoid going through lemon law arbitration. The car had multiple problems, including the common 03 problems such as fading door handles (replaced twice), pinch protection (sunroof still not right), window regulators, several recalls, and finally at 18,000 miles an engine rebuild to correct major burning of oil. On the rebuild something is wrong as the car "shakes" at idle, but the tach doesn't move at all.
After 20+ years of only driving Saab's the wife is through with Saab, especially the local dealer. Don't know where this car will end up, it is being shipped from the dealer to Saab USA. Dealer was told by Saab to fix everything but the dealer's position is that they have tried to fix everything but the car is junk and they can't resolve some of the problems.
Good luck, review the service history closely. Make sure all recalls have been done. Mostly Saab's are good, but like any manufacturer their will be problem vehicles.
