YES, there is somethingthat you are missing. And, its really obvious. They do not hold up well over a long period of time. They REQUIRE constant maintenance, things are always going wrong (except for a few and rare exceptions). Really.. having had THREE Saabs that I maintained and was NEVER able to get them to run "just-right" I gave up. I simply could not deal with it anymore. Bought a different car brand (honda) and in the past 70,000 miles I had to change brakes and get new tires. THATS IT!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?!?! And, I bought the car USED. Reliability is amazing. HOWEVER, the newer Saab 9-3's and 9-5's are very good. Saab finally got over the unreliability thing and made cars that are actually a dream to own (so it seems). I would strongly suggest staying away from any Saab 900 or 9000 type car unless you are a really good mechanic or are very good freinds with some. You will SAVE money buying a 9-3 or 9-5 over a 900 or 9000 simply because of maintenance and reliability.
