I recently figured out how much I've spent in maintanence driving my 91 9K from 72,000 to 142,000 over five years and it came out to about $1700 a year. That's almost exactly what the previous owner of your car spent. The fact is that that's about what it will cost if you have the work done by mechanics. If that's what you're going to do, you'd better resign yourself to spending that kind of money--and it sounds like your car is going to need that much and more. The good news is that $1700 a year is a lot cheaper than the $3600per year@300per month (for 5 years) you'd spent to a buy a new car--which doesn't include maintenance on the new car or higher insurance. Saab are very tough cars and it usually takes a long time for problems to reach critcal mass (I had a hole in my muffler for a year and a half before it got bad enought that I had to fix it.) In other words, you won't have to fix everything wrong with your car all at once. Some of the stuff wrong with it can be nursed along for another year or two. The trans on my 88 900 convertible popped out of gear occassionally for the entire two years I owned it, I sold it and never did fix it. If you can learn to work on it yourself you'll save a ton of money. Don't worry be happy, when you get it fixed up it'll run for another two or three hundred thousand.
