Does read like you do. Certainly converting Out of a TCS is more work/headache than I would care to bother with. Or even my Indie who claims, he wanted to but never actually bothered, or to convince a customer to have it done :-) I had mistakenly assumed a Platinum was yet another of the various marketing 'Specials' Saab tried on every few years... my bad.
Still, I'm skeptical that concsientious maintenance will keep the TCS happy.
IMO it would be difficult to pre-emptively 'maintain' the error system ECU or the TCS ECU, or perhaps even the throttle body (although the TB 'might' be maintainable). I have dead ecus on my shelf as constant reminder of this.
Current resale prices of 96 and newer (non TCS :-) 9000's are at such low ebb (Curiously ones in the site Classifieds seem significantly higher than 'street' pricings.. at least those in my part of the world.. presumably Site offerings are exceptional examples ..or not ) that opting for an earlier, even cheaper, version seems as blind saab lust.
You must really Like the Colour.
