Re: Avid enthusiast- without a Saab for 10 years Posted by Ari [Email] (#2847) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Ari) on Sun, 19 May 2024 13:04:06 In Reply to: Avid enthusiast- without a Saab for 10 years, BoostHOOTMA, Sun, 19 May 2024 00:43:17 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I bought a 2010 NG 9-3 convertible brand new in 2010.
It now has about 215,000 miles on it.
I have spent a total of $28,000 on it in that time. So what's that, 13 cents/mile?
That's for EVERYTHING - multiple sets of tires, batteries, oil and filter changes, and this is to keep it in PERFECT condition. If I were less fussy about everything being exactly right, I would have spent a lot less. I would have no hesitation in driving it across the country.
The only things that have "failed" in 215,000 miles, apart from consumables like oil, filters, disk pads and such have been a 3rd brake light (covered under warranty), a vacuum pump (covered under warranty), a front O2 sensor (covered under warranty), sway bar ends, passenger seat heating pad, power steering pump, fuel pump, and a radiator (leaked).
Just one data point, but, from my perspective, it's been very reliable and economical.
