6 years is getting old, but I have had several batteries in other vehicles last much longer. My '97 Ranger still has it's original battery. The one in our '93 Accord lasted about 8 years, as did the original battery in my '58 Chevy (there's little new in car battery technology!) So I guess the decision depends on how much risk you want to assume for getting stuck with a dead battery. Got Tripple A?
BTW, there was someone on the list who contended that with all the electronics, the battery in a Saab has a bigger burden on it and won't last as long. Don't believe it. All the battery has to do is provide starting power, after that the alternator provides all the electricity you need.
