I suggest you check the records very carefully. I am an unhappy owner of a '99 Saab 9-5, purchased at approximately 30K at my local dealership. It was manufactured in Nov '98 & now has about 76K on it. I had the oil changed at greater than the suggested oil change intervals. Consistent with the recent recall issued in Sweden for 400,000 cars b/o a design defect causing cold weather engine failure due to oil sludging in the oil sump (see Motortrend and other posts), my car died 2 days before the "recall" (which they are calling an extension of warranty) was issued.
Right now we are at loggerheads with both the dealer and SAAB, who contend they cannot confirm oil changes prior to my ownership-despite the dealer salesman having handwritten them in my record book as proof of maintenance when I bought the car in 2001. Caveat emptor.
