I swear, I am so disgusted with my 99 Benz E 300 turbo diesel. I love driving the car, but I have spent well over $1,000 in repairs in 2.5 years ownership (and that's WITH the starmark warranty..what a freakin joke these "certified" cars are!)
Anyway, once I get the latest repair done, this thing is outa here. I'm l,ooking at 2003 9.5 Saab wagon (Linear) with 52,000 on the clock. 5 speed auto trans. My mechanic (Saab owner) speaks well of this model and year. Howz about some input from owners that live here? Yeah yeah, my toyota (and even my 944 S2 dead realiable) but the Asian cars just don't get for me..I really prefer Euro carrs. Have never owned a Saab. Are parts as expensive as Audi?? |

SAABs of that vintage have electrical and electronic everythings.... My former company had leased SAABS for the sales reps and sold them off after a coupla years.
Some of the engineers I worked with bought and liked the cars but thought they would prolly be a nightmare when the electronics get older... Kinda like the electrical/electronic problems a lot of the Benzes are experiencing now.... Then again, I like manual door locks... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Ken |
