Tensioner Siezed - Repair or Replace Engine? Posted by SaabATL [Email] ![]() ![]() |
As I stated in a message earlier this week, the tensioner siezed on my 1999 9-5 V6 w/ 79k miles. I would like some help from you with the alternatives that I see:
1) Saab repairs the engine
2) Replace the engine with a used one
3) Walk away (buy a used Lexus but I have no idea what issues they have) b/c I'll end up spending more and more money on related issues
I really like the car but I don't want to be stupid w/ my money. Based on a couple of earlier responses I'm leaning toward finding a used engine. Is that a long process? How long will I be without a car? I really wanted to keep my car for at least another 100,000 miles. Ugh.
I'm trying to get some goodwill assistance from Saab but this could be a long process. I really appreciate any advice you can provide. I'm really depressed right now. Thanks.
