This will be my first "real" car. (Saturns, Geos, etc. before.)
I'm not sure the dealer is being altogether straight-up with me, though.
The '01 9-3 has only 25,000 miles on it but the interior looks far older. (leather's in good condition but the drivers side door area lookis worn.)The thing is Saab Certified Pre-owned which I understand is a pretty good deal. BUT it does have the blue smoke thing on start-up which they said is normal in a turbo. I didn't think that could be right so I asked around and then came here. Found my answer, thank you board! Also, they say they don't "have access to original service records" (1 former owner according to the car-fax)which I also believe to be BS. I put a deposit down but now that I'm pretty certain they're BS-ing me, I'm getting cold feet. Can anuone help put this into perspective for me? Should I just take my money back and run or should I try to get some help thru Saab USA?
Thanks!
