But piece of mind is priceless.
Pricey too, course, but honestly, owning an older Saab is inarguably a costly affair. Today, I spent, on items that I *knew* were needing attention: $250/tires, $165/70k service, $50 on winshield wipers,$65 on fog light brackets. Then there's the stuff I could have spent on but skipped: SID (the second one) $350, Sunroof deflector (4th one) $150?, burnt out dashboard lights, $85? Add to that the inevitable sounding DIC, shocks, trim pieces, turbo #2.. It all adds up to making you feel ready for a fresh ride. I LOVE my 2001 9-5, but I'm itching for a clean slate too. I agree that none of this adds up to $15-30k, but the nuisance is a factor.
