1. I am not loyal to Saab. Actually I am a very unhappy camper. One of the reasons is the answer to question 2.
2. I am averaging about $1750 per year for repairs and maintenance on my '99 9-5 (4 cylinder) which was bought new. These multiple trips for repairs with little help from the dealer. Surprisingly, the turbo has held up and with the exception of the oil pressure switch, water pump and muffler the main engine components have held together. The $1750/yr is all kinds of other ticky tacky which keeps on failing. This Saab is an unreliable money pit. Right now for starters I am facing a large repair for a $5-10 plastic part in the climate control system which requires 10-12 hours of shop work to get to and replace.
