Probably because SAAB being a smaller volumes manufacturer has more of cult following (and GM will screw this up soon). Where will you do the servicing? If at a dealer of local mechanic spend your time finding out about the quality of service you will get from them. (it will not be the same everywhere although it should be). My point being it does not (should not?) matter if one dealer/maker charges 100 USD more than another as long as you get what you pay for! Repairs, concentrate your mind on which exact cars from each make you would like and then ask the questions. SAAB faults for example will affect one model of a particular year(s) not every car (unless it uses the v6 GM engine). Regards Charles 9000 CSE 2.0 LPT 1997 -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
