My neighbor, whom I'm buying a '99 9-3 from, told me about a guy he knows in our town who does nothing other than change the oil and maybe the plugs... if he gets around to it.
So the guy's 9-5 stopped dead one day at 97,000 miles. Turns out the fuel filter was plugged solid. He had never changed it or done any other normal maintenance other than oil and plugs. He said it was outrageous that a dealer would charge $600 or so for a 60K maintenance. So he did nothing. One can only imagine the condition of rest of the car.
Until I found the 9-3 my neighbor is selling I was looking at some Saabs on local lots and thinking about how poorly many people maintain their cars. And then complain when the poor thing breaks down or dies an early death.
