...and ditch the car. Chances are that the car is not going to get better with age. When I got my '01 2 years ago, it had 45K on it. I knew the previous owner, and up until that point it had not had any major issues whatsoever. However, it got progressively worse from there. Around 75K things started popping up, chronic things (serp belts, motor mounts, etc), and continue to this day. It's to the point where I was keeping an OBD-II scanner in the glovebox so I could see if the CEL was trying to tell me that the car was about to asplode into pieces.
I couldn't take it anymore, so I'll be picking up my new TL tomorrow. It's a shame... I really enjoyed the hell out of the car. I'm really going to miss it. But the problems we had with it even kept me from getting a new Saab, despite the excellent pricing that's now available.
