Stay away from the GM Saabs. They're turds in comparison. 9-3's are notorious for engine oil sludge issues. Maybe you can get a good one, but I've spoken candidly with a handfull of Saab mechanics who work either for themselves as Saab indys, or work for local dealerships, and ALL said to stay the hell away from a 9-3 unless its a REAL good deal, and you pretty much are going to run it until it lets go. They have changed out engines and trannies (5-speeds) with 30-40k that are already junked.
The proof is in the pudding man....look at how many 9000's you see with 200, even 300k+ on them that run like the day they left the showroom. There's a reason that you can get a 2001 9-3 for the same price as low mileage '96-'97 Aero. It may be 5 years newer, but its half the car....
