The Older It Gets...

I would never buy another new saab again (or for that matter any new car) always buy used. I also have an infiniti which I bought used for 13000 and have put 125000 miles on it. If I calculate the price per mail for both cars its easy to tell where the bargain is. Price + Repairs:S=33000 I=16000 Miles Driven: S=140000 I=120000 Price per mile: S=.23 I = .13 If you really like saabs..buy it used..You'll get more bang for the buck! Morale of story: Buy Used High Quality vehicles. My next car will be a 2000 Lexus GS300.

I have owned this car for two years and it has 66,000 miles on it. The repair costs have averaged $2,000 per year. A little too much compared to the pleasure it provides.

SAAB: APPROPRIATELY NAMED

SAAB IS THE MOST APPROPRIATLY NAMED CAR ON EARTH!!! I WOULD NOT RECCOMMEDN THIS CAR TO ANY ONE. I HAVE SPENT MORE TIME IN RENTALS THAN IN MY OWN. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP LACKS PROFESSIONAL STAFF AND ARE RUDE AND BUTTHEADS. MAJOR ENGINE WORK HAS BEEN DONE (OIL LEAK), CLUTCH CABLE REPLACED TWO TIMES IN LESS THAN 8 MONTHS, I BURN 93 OCTANE AND CAR PINGS DOWN THE ROAD. HANDLING AND STYLING ARE AMAZING BUT A SOUR TASTE HAS BEEN LEFT IN MY MOUTH DUE TO REPAIRS AND MAINTAINCE COSTS. NOT A CAR I WOULD PURCHASE AGAIN, I AM NO FOOL AND HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON.

My Saab 900 S has made driving an "experience" instead of a chore. This car handles excellent. Built well and easy to work on. Convenient features inside the "cockpit." GREAT overall.
