I have an 87 SAAB 900s with about 262,000 miles on it. It's odometer is broken so one can only guess although the previous owner said about 225,000 when I bought it. Nonetheless, I seen many members with SAABs in the 300,000 range and up, however, this doesn't tell me how long an engine or 5 speed manual transmission will last with PROPER maintenance. This also takes into account the fun job of changing the timing chain, avoiding overheating etc.
I was told about 300,000 miles. But what about the SAAB owner with 700,000 miles? Are these million mile cars? Any ideas and comments would be appreciated. I feel my car is tired, with many replaced parts now being replaced again, etc etc.
