The answer should be clear - if you have limited funds, look for a car that has a better record in the maintenance and repair area. I owned a series of Hondas, a Mazda, a Subaru, and a Toyota, all driven with comparable mileage to the '93 9000 I have now. None of them gave me anywhere near the problems the Saab has given and continues to give me.
I manage by doing the repair work myself, but often the repair work has turned out like my recent "simple" brake job that had me spend hour after hour on a single frozen fastener. Though I completely understand the attraction to the 9000's unique combination of comfort, performance, and economy, I only own one because I sort of inherited it and was unable to sell it for a reasonable price over the course of a year.
