Can you get the maintenance records from the seller, very important. Perhaps, the seller did the scheduled maintenance and want's to get his $$ back. However, a bit high for me. Since the weakness of the 2.5 is the timing belt/tensioner assembly, SAAB recommends the 60k replacement. The belts are strong to last until 100k (read that from a post here) however the tensioner aint that well built. I believe SAAB came out with a "better" assembly around '97. There were a couple a few posts, within a week, I think, regarding the V6. Do a search. I have a V6. If I were to do it again, I would certainly get a turbo (not because the potential headaches/dread) since I have a heavy foot. As long as you stick to the scheduled maintenance record with fanatical vigilance, heck, you will be ok.
