First ask the dealer. As I understand it, they get reimbursed from Saab for the lease work (all fixes and maintenace), and need to keep an official record. If they can't produce it call Saab's customer service with the VIN#...but on second thought, if they seem reluctant to show you a service record, I would shy away from this car. I recently found out that the previous owner (lease) of my '01 CPO 9-5 was kind enough to skip the 20K service. To make a long story short, I found out that the 18K mile spell without an oil change resulted in serious sludge in the engine. It's getting cleaned out as we speak, but who is to say how the car may behave at 150K miles (it has about 48K right now)? The only thing that saved me is that I've done oil changes every 3K miles. Let us know what the dealer says...this information should be readily available...especially if they want to sell the car...
