I don't mean to be harsh, but it sounds to me like you bought a used car and now you're paying for the previous owner's neglect. Buying a new car which has problems is one thing, but when you buy a used car you can't possibly know what sort of treatment that car had previous to your ownership. In this case, it sounds like maybe that previous owner didn't take care of the car at all... Don't blame Saab... -Justin
