Hate to hurt your feelings...but........

Tips:
1) MOST important.... do NOT skip ANY services.... and do not cut corners on them. (Don't follow 94up 900 recommendations)
2) Change oil EVERY 2,500 to 3,000 miles.
3) Use GENUINE SAAB parts. (Bosch, Sachs, Saab, etc)
4) Do not use used parts on operational items.
5) Do not use anything but Original Equipment Manufacturer when installing remanufactured parts.
6) I strongly recommend AGAINST attempting repairs yourself. Simple mistakes can be VERY expensive, and the knowledge and tools needed are vast.
7) Keep in mind that a SAAB is an expensive but worth it semi-exotic.
Think about bringing your Saab to a cheap chain shop
8) Resist doing oil changes yourself or going to quick change places. While it's easy to do and saves you money in the short run, a quality SAAB specialty shop will look for preventative needs saving you money a chain shop or you will miss. Also something to consider, if anyone screws up, wouldn't it be better out of their pocket? Our most expensive repairs come from folks that don't bring their cars regularly to a qualified Saab shop for oil changes....
9) Never buy the 1st or 2nd year of a model change.
