2000 SAAB 9-3 SE review from North America
"Sad saab sludge story"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Believe me, there is such a thing as death by sludge!
I unfortunately, experienced it. I loved this car and
bought it with 16,000 miles on it, in 2001. I took
good care of it and it ran, up until last week with.
160,000 miles on it. my SAAB 9.3 2000 engine died on
the road. I could not make this up, if I tried!
It was a sad passing and I am still mourning my loss.
It was my first and last SAAB purchase. Too bad, the
Saab manufacturer does not stand behind its products.
I would love to be a part of a class action suit...
Beware SAAB owners.
