I have same car, built in May '08, bought by me as new June '09. Have nearly 50 K miles on it, generally trouble free. The XWDs were factory goosed to 285 HP from the standard 255. It's the same power train as the TX, except for the lack of eLSD. Plugs are called for at 60K miles. Haven't heard any reasons to replace before that. The back bank is very hard to get at. See sticky on site for WIS procedure. Have heard it's important to use the spec'd NGKs. Supposedly these cars are hard on coil packs and genuine Saab are pricey. Supposedly, RockAuto has OK substitutes. I have no experience with either. Bose radio is OK, but like all Bose systems, a little shrill. You can tweak the EQ via "Centerpoint Manual". I have mine boosted in bass and attenuated in treble. It's OK, not great. It has a sub in the back, but if you want a seismic thumper, this isn't it. Overall, great car. Wish it had Bluetooth.
