Dear Saab Doctors,
We have a 96 Saab 5dr, and we _love_ it! Now I've found another 1996 Saab, this time a convertible, with high mileage (233Kmi+), for rather low (suspiciously low?) price: $2000. Summer is here, it is tempting to get it as a third car. I haven't checked this Saab out yet, but I'm wondering whether it would be wise to buy, even if the inspection comes back as acceptable. What is the typical engine+transmission lifetime? How long would it take until this car needs an overhaul/refurbished engine or tranny? I know this is a loaded question, it depends on driving habits, maintenance, etc., but roughly... How long do these engines last? Also, if you have bulk figures for how much would a rebuilt engine and or tranny cost (and where to get them), I'd appreciate very much that info as well.
Thank you in advance for your advice!
Best,
Balthazar
