But, there's not a big difference. >I understand that any repairs that will need to be made will naturally >cost more than a domestic or more common import, however i'm wondering >what should i be expecting? is this milage a lot for this car? Absolutely not. It's just broken in. Saabs typically go 200-300K on the motor without major engine work. There are a few things that wear out at 50K but they don't cost much, a few more at 70, but they are not too bad either. >when i started looking for a new vehicle i started looking at lesser >cars with a lot lower milage (civic, corolla, etc) but then found this >9-3 which was in my price range and have fallen in love :) Saabs are nice cars to drive. There's a big difference between Euro cars and Japanese cars.
