First, I am surprised by the engine failure.
The best comparison would be SAAB to something else in class.
Tire/Wheels would be the same with any other inclass car, as would Insurance, Intrest and Taxes. Heck so would the purchase price.
The 5K in repairs is high. However, that is about $0.07/km Canadian.
You chose to spend 4K in the performance upgrade -- that may also be why the engine failed...I do not know.
Now, here is my experience in SAAB cost of ownership:
2001/12/31 Purchased Demo 2001 9-5 SE W/1800 miles 30500
TAX + TAgs 1100
OTD Cost: 31600
Maintence:
1 Mobile1 oil change : 51.26
Repairs None!
Insurance: $350
Disposition of SAAB on 2002/06/29 to USAA Ins Co with 6100 miles:
37400-500 detuctable=36900.
Net cost: 30500 - 36900 + 51.26 + 350 = $-0.80 per mile.
