FYI I posted a 125k service history of my '03 Aero a while back:
http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/9-5/index.html?bID=204115
Have since put another 12k on, during which time it's gotten new spark plugs, an couple air filters, a Guy Senesac SID repair, 3 oil changes, new thermostat & coolant temp sensor, coolant flush, and PCV update #6. That sounds like a lot but it was all DIY and cost a grand total of $400.
That brings the lifetime repairs total up to $1,000 and the maintenance total up to $2,300.
I have always rotated my tires every 5k. Here's the history on those
OEM Pirelli P-Zero Rossos - 26k
Kumho Ecsta ASX - 38k
Kumho Ecsta ASX - 38k
Kumho Ecsta ASX - 35k
Those three sets of Kumhos cost $1,390 total. Getting a set of the Continental DWSs put on today. The Kumhos are good tires, great dry performance a super value. The Continentals are going to cost about $120 more (~25%) for the set, but have a treadlife warranty of 50k vs the Kumhos 30k, so I'm hoping to make up the extra purchase price with more longevity. Also the Kumho's snow performance, even in the little bit we typically see here in MD, is quite bad and my wife has a habit of playing bumper cars in the snow.
