Bought car in immaculate condition and reviewed Service records like Clock work serviced every 5K miles.
Only thing I can say bad about it - was Driver seat needing repair. So, having it repaired with seat matching on color with local vendor (Fibrenew) ($350).
Everybody thinks the car is new and was garage kept.
I put new Yokohamas on it and a Harman Kardon interface.
Things changed during it's Service history:
SID Unit
AC Compressor
Front Struts
Rear Shocks
DI Cassette
Serpentine Belt (twice)
Brake job (twice)
Other things are normal Service like filters and oil changes.
So now that I found this site - I will only pray that I will not fall under the gun with the QA/Engineering defects. I bought the car based on History and Quality/Engineering legacy of SAAB.
I have only had car for 1 month. Going to make sure I use Synthetic Oil and baby it. I love the looks of this thing with the Top down and it is in fabulous condition.
Pics of the thing are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/28063509@N08/sets/72157606573435080/
Hoping I am lucky - not holding breath.
Good luck with your Saab.
My 9-3 Convertible has been the best car I've owned.
