The 3.0 V-6 is a good engine with one major flaw, the timing/cam belt, tensioner, and idler system. Since the engine's pistons and valves will collide if the 4 camshafts get out of sync, serious damage will result in the event of a cam belt/tensioner failure. Every 60,000 miles the belt/tensioner/idler must be replaced by someone that knows what they are doing. The thermostat is also hard to get to and costly. Some have experienced oil-cooler leaks (also hard to access to repair). Make sure the turbo is OK. With all the above mentioned, I chose the V-6 when I bought my used 2002 Saab and haven't looked back
