Saab Experience
Thanks to everyone on this board for the very useful info. My exp. has been pretty consistent on my ’97 900S automatic Convertible.
My alternator and serp. belt just went out at 45K miles just before I was going to take it in for maintenance. Funny thing was I was thinking how much I loved the car with the top down on an 80 degree day just when belt went. Aside from slow acceleration, it is by far the best car I’ve ever driven. Previously the exhaust and something else (can’t remember) went out at 35 K last year just after 4 yr. warranty expired – I work out of home and drive mainly in the city, very little in the winter. Saab paid for the parts (but not service) after a call to Saab based on advice from a former GM service call center manager – his advice: don’t get angry, don’t expect everything - if they feel they can’t fully satisfy you with partial relief they will offer nothing (I bought the car used). Now that the alternator went out I’ll call to see if they’ll give me any relief. It looks to me from this board that the Saab dealership (Saab of Troy, Michigan) should charge me about $600 for a new alternator replacement + $140 for the serp. belt. Is this right? Thanks.
