I bought mine 9-3 1999 used with 51K. First couple of things i did was to re-torque the head. Then the DI Cassette went around 59K and i replace it under extended warranty. Notice some coolant lost due to the fact that the water pump was going to go. So got a new water pump and all the parts that come with it. Since i had to remove the belt i went ahead and decided to replace the belt and tensioner.
Then did several changes to the intercooler, turbo, air intake, suspension recently install the Koni Sport suspension. Have a SAS sway bar on the back on the front rack & pignion have a brace and clamp.
Have 17 inch Viggen wheels and Falken Azenis tires. I auto-x the car on a regular basis here in the Atlanta Region and place 4th out of 56 driver in the SM = Street Modified class in my region in 2004. Won the SM class in Salinas Region in 2005.
Overall is a great car but like all Saab or i should say like all cars you have to always check the car. I pop the hood almost daily just to look at the engine and spot anything not normal.
Buy the car the Saabnet.com site is excellent. I love this site i visit this site daily.
Good luck - JohnInAtl
