have a '00 auto purchase approx 2 yrs ago w/41K
don't expect reliability of Toy/Honda/Nissan
haven't lost head gasket but have replaced:
A/C compressor
water pump
rebuilt turbo
DIC (3rd one -- will be fourth w/recall)
various PCV fixes
other problems areas are:
heater/vent control (not temperature) knob -- correct fix is replacement of heater box ($400 part)
transmission mount
speakers will need replacement (just because of age and location)and with that mileage the serpentine belt and pulleys should have already been replaced.
if i didn't do my own repairs i would have got rid of it...its enjoyable car to drive but has taken more work than the last 4 cars i've owned in 16 years...
the sludge problem acknowledged by Saab will only be covered to 80K mi if you have written proof of oil/filter changes every 5K mi
