I have a 03 Aero with 29k miles on it.
So far:
-ClimateControl head unit replaced
-Repaint real pillar unit for cracks in paint.
-DI Cassette replaced this past weekend.
-Tons of chips on my front bumper and hood. Is it me or is the paint quality really poor for its purported class???
-AC unit whistling on an off when turned on high.
One things that no one else has mentioned is that, sure the Saab may be comparable in reliability to say an Audi/BMW/Merc but you're going to take a beating on the resale value compared to either of those cars. Right now I'm taking a beating(Edmunds $21k trade estimate) even WITH my employee discounts that shaved off about $10k off MSRP, I can imagine you folks that did not have this when you bought them.
So in the end, I've got to stick with the car since the depreciation will likely continue to outpace my car payments thereby making it pointless for me to even consider a trade. Just hope that nothing major craps out..
Yes, absolutely I do have buyers remorse... should have gone with a Merc or Beamer or Porsche instead. Screw the employee discounts.... serves me right for trying to save a few bucks, I'll pay for it in the long run.
