Not at all high for a Saab. However, there are a lot of what I call '100K
miles parts', ones that expire after 100K miles and make the areas of 100K
and 200K miles an expensive time to own one. Things like the direct
ingition cassette, or an automatic transmission if it's a 9000 turbo. If
it's been taken good care of and continues to be, and isn't abused, you can
count on at least 250K miles from the engine. Refer to the 'high mileage'
page on www.saabnet.com to see how long some of them are lasting (it's only
a tiny fraction of them that actually end up on that list, though).
My '91 9000T required a top-end rebuild at about 110K to fix an
oil-burning problem, which cost about $700 (but that was in Maine -- it
would have been more if I wasn't in the New England area). I have heard
this is also something that tends to be needed after 100K on these engines
(2.3l turbo).
For the record, Saabs have long had a reputation for 'lasting forever'.
Hope this helps
