I could get cheaper parts for my old GTI-VR6, but I'm sure if I had gone to the VW dealer to have repairs done I'd have gotten reemed. Like some others said, find a reliable local indy. I don't see any reason to go to a dealer unless you have to monkey with the ECU, or something unusual like that. Unfortunately, because of saabs relatively low production numbers, there's fewer aftermarket choices for parts, so the cost is a bit higher. From what I've seem, the viggen has a few parts that are different from a regular 9-3 (like brake rotors), so they cost more. The dealer quote for the front brakes sounds reasonable, considering dealer parts cost. The e brake cable replacement for $500 sounds rediculous, that's like 8 hours labor. I can't imagine why it would need a muffler, they're stainless.
