I'm am new to the saab world. I have an opprtunity to pick up a '96 saab 900S with 36K miles on it for $15,000. The car is my wifes bosses car wich will be coming off of lease. He has brought it for all the maintenance and has it looking like new (inside and out). My consern is, if I buy the car, it will be out of warrenty or very close to being out of warrenty. What am I looking at regarding maintenance and the price for upkeep? I was talking to someone with a '89 900 turbo and they said that they invest about $1,000 per year to maintaine the car. Talked to a junk yard dealer and they said that the saab's of the early '80's had problems with the transmissions but the '90s are much better and that if I picked up this car ('96 900S) I should have no problem, and they are a very solid car. Please help. Rich
