Thanks to both replies! Unfortunately, my daughter bought this 99 9-5 fiasco last NOV...from a guy in Wayland MA who specializes in moving used Saabs. A month or so after, the head gasket went....which he repaired after a fashion 'under warranty'. SO I don't have seamless service records, etc. Carfax indicated it was a two-owner car...but you know how that goes. However, I take offense to one guy's comment in a later note somewhere else that implied that 99% of people out there w/"Sludge Problems" couldn't get themselves out of a paper bag WRT car maintenance. That's BS. I own right now 5 other Saabs of various vintages, and maintain them religiously. These 9-5 2.3 B235 engines (or whatever) had serious problems! I looked for the obvious 'sludge signs' before we bought this thing. I wanted to proceed with 9000 engine swap (bottom end) as mentioned, but now my wife and daughter don't want to throw any more money on this lemon. So 1st $ 1750.00 takes this otherwise clean, tidy 9-5 with about 77K miles showing on odometer.
Anyway, thank you both for responding. TSN delivers as always!
