Another SAAB Story...

It's grey and snowy here in upstate NY and this story just seems to fit the weather...
A work acquaintance just walked in and offered me the roof racks off of his '92 9KT CD. He then proceeded to tell me that he had donated the car for tax purposes and was out of the SAAB game in favor of a new Honda. He had owned the car since new and had a "three inch stack of repair receipts" and 170K miles on the clock so he felt it was time. The last incident - the one that put him over the top - was the TCS light coming on after a car wash. When he took the car to the dealer, they could not get the TechII to communicate with the ECU - even though the car was driving okay. The dealer said that it would cost about $1K just to diagnose the problem. With a $2.2K tax credit versus an unknown total repair starting at $1K, the decision was easy for him. (Before anyone comments about the car wash's responsibility in all of this, this fellow felt that given the history of TCS problems with the car, it may have been simply a coincidence since he has routinely used this car wash.)
I guess sometimes it is best just to put them down.
