Thank you all for your helpful replies. I knew I could count on my fellow Saabsters to give me the straight dirt.
I must say, I was elated at the prospect of owning a Saab. They're so unique stylish. But that elation soon faded when,
1) The windshield cracked when the passenger seat was "rolled" forward, and the headrest pressed against the glass. I still haven't gotten it fixed, because my mechanic quoted me a price of about $700, installed (about $450 for the glass, $250 for the labor).
2) Then, the transmission range switch started acting up, and my CHECK ENGINE & CHECK GEARBOX lights started lighting up after cold nights.
3) And now the 5th bow latch motor is busted? I called Saab to have them fix it, since they did send out a campaign recall on this thing, but since I am the 3RD owner, the warranty is void. Thanks for the act of good faith, guys!
I thought I did my research on Saabs and their fallability, but I guess I should have checked here first. All in all, I am torn, because I still really love it, but with all the repairs I've had to shell out for, it gets me thinking about putting an ad out.
It's funny, whenever I tell people how much it costs to do some such service on the car, they first act shocked at the price, but then reply, "Well, that price is understandable, since it IS a SAAB."
