Brent - 9K ownership can occasionally be challenging, after all these are very complex (but competent) autos that were very well regarded in the entry-level luxury segment when they were new. However as with many European cars, 9K's are very sporting and satisfying to drive, and can be reliable if you keep on top of maintenance.
Probably the best 9K site I know is Quasi's page <http://quasimotors.gar.net/>. It provides detailed info on maintenance tips, trouble spots and estimated repair costs. The other is Townsends Import at <http://www.townsendimports.com/> which is more technical and provides detailed repair job procedures and price estimates. Mind you repair prices can vary substantially across the continent and even within the same state/city.
However dont' let the initial service discourage you .... it's part of every 9K's character. Just be sure to nail the key items first and put up with the minor quirks as you go along. People generally love/hate Saabs, but those who remain faithful to the brand know what the others are missing !
Enjoy your 9KCD.
