Until a couple months ago, I had a 2001 Viggen convertible. Traded it in on a new Aero at 80,000 miles.
It had all regular maintenance done at the dealer, and I got it interim oil changes so it was getting its oil changed every 5,000 miles.
Major service items:
Transmission overhaul kit 54 40 516 at 8000 miles to cure symptoms common to 1998-2001 9-3's.
Bypass valve leak (check engine code P1110) at 10,100 miles.
Throttle body replaced (check engine codes p1230, p1261) at 28,000 miles.
Throttle body replaced again (check engine code p1264) and Trionic ECM updated with new software at 32,000 miles
Excessive oil consumption (quart every 300 miles or so), though compression fine (180-185 each cylinder) at 80,000 miles
Air conditioner compressor failed (clutch, I think) at 80,000 miles.
Otherwise, great trouble-free car.
