I bought my '95 SET in early '99, still under Saab warranty, inspected the repair history at the dealer, and bought an extended warranty good 'till 82k miles. In spite of all that the car has still run me an average of $120/month out of pocket over the last 3 years. The total repair costs for the warranties and my pocket have run close to $8k for that time period. Spending over 50% of the purchase price of a car on maint. is a little extreme in my book. I should hope the 9-3's are better.
On the other hand, the new Acura 3.2CL with the 6spd and LSD is looking _very_ attractive, but that's for another thread.
