Have your brakes checked. I just had that problem with vibration and every grease monkey I went to said that my brakes were fine. The last owner took it to the dealer for this same problem and the dealer suspected that the tires that he recently bought from another source were "mismatched". After I purchased the car I took the car to a non-SAAB dealership (where my mother happens to work) and had my oil changed. I mentioned the problem to the tech when he had it up on the lift and he tried to spin the tires by hand suspecting eneven rotors. His suspicions were correct and he also found that one of my calipers was stuck in braking position which probably helped cause my rotor problems. Checking my brakes and finding the stuck caliper took him only about 2 mins. The tech told me that when vibration only happens at certain speeds it is usually the rotors. I got a new caliper and had the rotors ground and Sally now runs like a dream. I suggest that you have your brakes checked by someone you know because the dealer (even the SAAB dealer) isn't even all that helpful when they don't know you. It's sad but a fact of the business we have to deal with.
