We're leasing our 99 9-5, and will need to decide what to do (purchase, lease/buy something else) at the end of this year. I *love* the car, and will probably opt to buy it. That may not be the smartest financial move, but we know the car, know it's been well cared for, and it's been troublefree.
Were Saab to offer a way to boost the engine a bit it would make our decision very easy - we'd do it.
But I wonder whether Saab wants folks like us to buy our leased vehicles. Wouldn't they rather we lease or buy something new? On the other hand, there's the possibility that we'd move to another brand. As it is, the Saab dealers will be getting our repair and maintenance business, which is where most of their profit comes from in these days on online comparison shopping.
So my message to Saab is "do it" - try hard to keep us in the fold, give us a mid-life upgrade, show potential new buyers that this is how Saab treats their customers.
