My '03 9-3SS has just passed 173,000.......kilometres that is. This equates to about 106,000 miles.
The car drives very well and has never had any major issues. I just had it looked over by a Saab dealer here in Toronto and all of the running gear, CV boots, tie-rod ends etc and the exhaust system are in almost new condition with very little wear. The upper bearing on the rear links are a little weak and will have to be monitored though.
What was really needed was a flush of the auto trans. The fluid was looking pretty nasty. In addition, it's looking like the passenger side crank seal is leaking a bit and will have to be replaced. So, bottom line is that all fluids should be inspected / changed and leaks dealt with.
Here's to a few more happy miles.
