Less Optimistic for 9-5 wagon

I have a 2000 9-5 wagon I bought new and it has been a disappointment. My wife loves driving the car (as do I), but at 35,000 miles I have already had the following major issues: replaced two turbos for leaking seals; replaced faulty instrument cluster; replaced rotors at 25,000 miles.
I am nervous about owning this car outside warranty. This is my fourth and least reliable saab. Hopefully, I just got an unusually bad car, but its been enough to convince me not to buy another saab. Dont know what its worth, but thats my experience.
Before buying any 9-5, I would ask to have the opportunity to start the car cold in the morning. If you see a puff of smoke at startup, that is a sign of a bad turbo seal. This wont happen once the car is warmed up.
