I just got some Tax relief back, and Im deciding on something new or different. Ive been interested in a TOyota Truck 5sp. The thing is I dont know if I want to leave the Saab Family. I have had it for 5 years now and it just loves talking, or comeing up with new things it wants repaired on it. Heres what it does need to be up to snuff again. It needs new Intermediate Pipe for Exhaust, The carpet is cut up and has holes in it, It tends to leak water into the back floor boards, Drivers Headlight housing is broken, No AC, Idle drops down and almost stalls and sometimes does when downshifting, It runs rough at Stop lights, Needs ball joints all four, Brakes complete rotors and pads for front and rear, could use new Suspension bushings in rear. The paint isnt the best with the Clear fading out on the roof. Has wind leaks on Drivers door and Sunroof on Highway. Needs New Steering Rack too.

Should I keep putting in money in hopes of making it better or just start out fresh?

The engine doesnt Knock or ping, oil changed religiously, New fuel filter, Headgasket, Clutch, Clutch and Brake Master Cylinder, New Starter, New tires, New COmplete Exhaust except for Intermediate Pipe, You can even hear how clean the engine runs on the highway while shifting!! New Charcoal Canister, Original Radio, Saab Guard alarm that still works, New Fuel Regulator, ... Tranny and Engine run on Synthetic oils.

All in all how much do you think Im looking at to repair the above mentioned? Would you put this much into your saab , or just draw the line for something newer?
