Black automatic transmission fluid

Anybody else have black transmission fluid near 30,000mi? I bought a leaser 99 9-3 from Schumacker Saab in West Walm Beach and while checking motor, noted that Tranny dipstick had dark brown-black fluid. (At first I thought Isn't that nice they put two oil dipsticks on it.) The Saab salesman said the mechanic said they were all like that. They refused to change it but gave me a certified 100,000 warantee. I believe the trans. fluid is synthetic instilled in factory but feel a bit like I have black teeth when I think about it all. How can we be sure the stuff isn't full of millions of tiny carbon particles grinding away at the transmission mechanism. AAMCO says they don't dare touch a Saab although they like pink transmission fluid. My Saab manual says that Black-really black transmission fluid should be changed.Anyone have some thoughts to pass on?
