The turbo should not be a maintenance issue on any Saab
newer than your 'old' '90. They're all water cooled, have
a decent size oil cooler, and after almost 30 years of
refinement are at the point where they're more reliable
than a lot of electrical/computer components that have
been integrated into engines, ostensibly for reduced
maintenance reasons. Ya, you might get a bit more gas
mileage, but the joy of driving a turbo more than compensates
for it...to me, the difference in price between a used turbo
and a non-turbo doesn't even come close in making up for all
the extras you get in a turbo Saab: ACC, leather (maybe),suspension,
CD player, sunroof(?), etc. Anyway, that's my two pesos... 8-)
