I would say that the 9-3 isn far from cheap! its also imho a design that has some of the best engenering in the world, flaws or thats what you call them usually end up being the reason many love the cars so much. I can see that the lack of a tilt colum is a problem, but my seat always ajusted perfectly.....
Anyways the new 9-3 will be out in the fall a gorgeous car
www.saabcarsonline.com I will also agree they can be costly to maintaine, I sold mine after my moms neighbor moved, he was a saab mechanic! stuff that was funny was say an altenator $1500.00 OUCH! or a ring and pinion set at $1200.00. I simply bought a used trannie at $550.00 I only owned one a 1985 SPG bought with 100k plus and sold at 290k miles the cars still in service with a 16 year old girl her older brother beat on it for three years prior, the cars at 377k miles and still running strong! They grow on you thats for sure!
