We used to buy well-driven SAABs back in the day (99s, 900s, 9000s), but since 2001 we've driven three 9-5s, two new lease cars and our current CPO ride ('04 9-5 Arc Sportwagon). The warranty's still in force until next May, so of course the repairs have been pretty trivial, ha-ha.
This one's got 75K on it, putting on about 20K miles a year, so we're moving into the territory discussed in this thread. The way I view it, compared to buying new or leasing we've saved so much money by buying CPO that this car doesn't owe us anything. If something major comes along, we'll probably fix it, at least until the current limbo in which SAAB is hanging is resolved one way or another. I fail to understand how someone with a ten year old car with 200K on it would think that $3-5K would be a lot to sink into a car, compared with greater depreciation on a new or even a late model used vehicle.
What we're having a hard time facing is the prospect of having to move to a different car, after having at least one SAAB in the garage since 1972.....
