I remember when the 9-3 BB came into existance and all the talk was what car wax was best and armrests. The 9-3 was really just a rebadged NG900, a marketing change more than anything else.
Now I see on the NG900 BB that there are folks who know little of the NG900 and purchase these with high miles and cheap. So they face expensive maintenance challeges and are not knowledgeable enough to cope well with things that go wrong. They also can ill afford to pay for these events. In some cases the used vehicle can have a backlog of 'deferred maintenance' aka neglect. It makes my heart ache sometimes. When we purchased these vehicles new, we bonded to them and learned everything we could about them by personal experience and by sharing on this BB. The experience for some folks who purchase these vehicles today can be less than wonderful. We are seeing similar stories on the 9-3BB now as well.
