Tough to predict which cars are better then others. I was told that Saab's would be reliable, but if you have repair issue's be prepared for the high cost...........Well,
I purchased an 02 back in June 2005 w/44k.........I now have 100k and in the 14 months I've owned it has been in for repairs 11 times. Two of those for a week and longer. I truly enjoy the car and its driving ability, but unfortunetly it's been a nightmare. Throttle body, AC condesor, purge valve, defective struts, tie rod ends, 3 sets of tires in 14 months due to a camber issue. I still have a load creaking noise in the front passenger side which I brought in 4 times now for and its still there. We've tried tie rod ends, front suspension kit, struts .
The only thing saving me from hanging myself was that I purchased an extended warranty and it covered most, but still close to $2500.00 out of pocket on a car I purchased a little over a year ago for $15,500.
I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OR BUYING IT CERTIFIED FROM A SAAB DEALER. Certified will at least have you covered on everything, even bulbs, up to 100k
I just happened to get a bad apple and am looking to get into another Saab because I'm stubborn and love the car. I will be buying certified though.
Good luck and enjoy
