Good-by to Saabs or a final Saab-story

It is with some sadness that I am about to say good-by to Saab after driving them exclusively since 1972. I have owned and restored many 3 cylinder 96s, and last year gave away my 79 900 with 250k on it to a friend who is still driving it. I have lost faith in the machine--the reliability seems to have faded since '90. I'm trading my current 93 Saab on a new Japanese product so I can actually get from point A to Point B without a $500 repair! I have heard some pretty bad experiences from new Saab buyers that I know (both with their machines and corporate policy) which also has helped turn me in another direction. Thanks to all on this network who have helped me figure out and repair some of the problems with my current ride.
