Avoiding the V6 is probably best...

Search the archives on the V6...they seem to be more problem prone than Saab's excellently designed, time tested 4cyl...besides, the turbo variant of the 4cyl outperforms the V6 by far.
But if you were to find one with all service records, service done at all recommended intervals, including timing belt change every 25-30K, then you might be ok. I would highly recommend a pre-purchase inspection...esp on a V6. If the car was serviced at a Saab dealer, any Saab dealer can pull the entire service history from the VIN#.
Keep in mind that the average sale price of the V6 is so much lower than the 4cyl for a reason...fewer people want them and the maint. seems to be higher.
Hope this helps,
Nick.
