I would recommend keeping an eye on the HB after 100k miles. My '91's HB disintegrated in a small town in FL at about 120k miles, with no audible warning before that point. When it disintegrated it released the pulley, which of course caused the belt, thus the car, to become inoperable. We won't go into why it picked that location rather than within 20 miles of my house, where 95% of the car's total mileage was realized. The result was an expensive 175-mile tow to the Saab dealer in Mobile, AL, where they thankfully had the parts and opportunity to fix it.
When my present car ('95 Aero, 63k miles) hits about 100k, I will be visually inspecting it every few K miles.
