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??

Had a friend who had something called "The 10 Year Rule"...

Rando believed that if a type of car was good enough to hold together for 10 years, it was good enough to buy a good one and put a little bit of money in it to get it into great shape and drive it for another 10....

Sure enough, the 10 year rule weeds out a lot of type of cars.....

And identifies the ones that are reliable and might make it to 20....
