Driven my non-Saab to the tip of Baja twice...

...all the way down Highway 1 & back, in a Nissan truck. Utterly gorgeous drive. Good roads. No accidents (insurance company tells me accident rate is lower in Mexico.) Numerous checkpoints with uniformed teenagers carrying fully automatic weapons - never asked for baksheesh (bribes), though my door panels were removed once. And put back on perfectly. Stopped by federales twice, no ticket, no fine, no problem. I would do this again as a woman alone without hesitation.
$1.00 lobster burritos. Friendly people. Great scenery. The only authority problems I had were with US immigration who took my dried seaweed and limes away, the swine. The noive!
My brother lived in Mexico City; it's a crime-pit. Don't know about Cancun driving; last I was there ('99) Saab parts were only available by mule train from the US - this is why I drove the Nissan.
Just wanted to provide a leetle balance to the "beware all third world countries" warnings...I've travelled & lived (both alone & accompanied) in 3rd world countries and often feel safer there than in major US cities. I know this doesn't directly address your Saab in Mexico question, sorry. :)
