They can be good cars overall and the Classic 900s are great in the snow. The Classics are easy to work on. > I have always loved the > looks of cars, but like many of the posters that I read here, I have heard > that they are matinence nightmares & very expensive to maintain. That is a very general statement. There have been several model changes and with all model changes there are bugs to work out - so that first year of a new model receives a reputation of being maintenance nightmare and very expensive to maintain. > I have > looked around my area & there are tons of used cars. The intresting thing is > that all have about 40-60,000 miles on them. The cars with 40-60,000 miles may be leases. Saab had a relatively high purchase price, but offered a very good lease price - so many were leased. There are good and bad things about leased cars. The good being the price and the bad being the potential for a lack of routine maintenance, which may result in problems later on. > Any help, suggestions, > warnings, independant web-sites, etc would be gratefully appreciated. > > Porter Seibert
