"Comfortable, but BUYER BEWARE"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Within one week of purchasing from a used car dealer, the muffler had to be replaced ($398 + $75 installation)

Within one week of purchase, the valve cover gasket had to be replaced. ($40.90 + $75 installation.

Within one week of purchase, the driver window fell to the bottom of the door. ($160)

Within one week of purchase, stabilizer links needed replaced ($94 + $37.50 installation)

Within one week of purchase, belt tensioner needed replaced ($149.80 + $75 installation)

Within one week of purchase, the CHECK ENGINE light came on; an emissions problem. ($60 for diagnostic check and re-set)

This week the CHECK ENGINE light has again come on. Can't afford to take off any more work to service it; can't afford to service it if I did have the time!

General comments?

Be very careful in buying a used Saab; this appeared to be well cared for, but $1104. in the first week of ownership?

I'm trying to get the dealer to buy it back from me, plus pay for all the work done.

Sorry to say, but it seems that you just got screwed by the dealer; that's all.
