Man,
I must be cursed but I still love my car!
I have a 2000 lpt sedan that just turned 80k. So far I have replaced:
water pump at 74k (chewed hole into timing cover!)
turbo at 69k
Thermostat at 79k
full 3" stainless exhaust from CTI at 77k
Nokian WRs at 64k
alignments twice a year
I own the car outright and figure it will give me MANY more years and miles of service but if you read this board enough you will realize Saabs CAN and most likely WILL cost you an arm and a leg at some point, and usually more over time. Become familiar with the car and work on it yourself, these things are so well built working on them (some stuff sucks!) is a pleasure compared to other car companies. Also, find an indie and become VERY good friends with him. Dealers will rake you over the coals for everything.
