I've had some bad ones before. Those took me $2000-3000 a year.
Annoyingly, *each year*. I held on to them for a while, hoping next year will be better, but no ... once started they just keep going and going.
For the same money you can lease a brand new saab or subaru. This is what I have been doing with my second car. Same expense, much less aggravation.
Saabs are only economical to people who can repair them themselves. That can cut down your expenses very considerably. This, unfortunately, requires inordinate amount of time on your behalf, especially if you are not a professional mechanic. So, you still pay for it, only this time -- with your time.
I must acknowledge that the high maintenance may be not quite so much the car's fault, as the fault of its dealerships. It just does not seem to be their incentive to keep your car perfectly operational.
