Maybe I've been spoiled by the always reasonable Swedish Auto AB guys, Mark and Rafael here in San Diego, but I haven't found Saab service and parts to be particulaly expenisive. I come from a VW-Audi-BMW-Mercedes-Saab-Fiat-Peugeot-Alfa Romeo background and was a used car manager for Saturn for 8 years where I spent probably over $1,000,000.00 (one million)in automotive repairs including Honda's and Toyota's.
The local Honda independents have the same racket going as the Swedish Auto AB guys, $900 at the dealer $420 at the independent, that quote is a fresh one for a '98 900S Turbo fuel pump.
Saab sold in the USA are high-line models, with all the toys and all the expectations and will never be as inexpensive to service as economy cars, but on the other hand, if you were my disciple, you be in a 24,27 or 36 month lease and never pay for service.....
