I just bought a 01 SE wagon two months ago and really like it. Fortunately it still had 2 months on the warranty which is about to expire. Unfortunately that means I'm trying to find all the problems with the car before it does and there have been a few (read my earlier post on continuing vibration and idling/stalling issues). I know there is a lot of trouble shooting going on this site, but bad turbos, faulty DI cassettes, blown head gaskets, etc under 50k? That's why I opted to not buy an Audi. Then my neighbor's 01 9-5 had to be towed -- I'm getting some major buyers remorse. My wife's 9-3 has been trouble free for the 3 years we've owned it -- WHERE IS SOME WOOD TO KNOCK ON! I thought Saabs were like that. How many of you are needing to replace turbos and DI cassettes? I need to hear some positive stories! Do I dare take this car cross-country next week?! Where's that AAA application again!
