Many conerns handled by Certified Used Saab...

A Certified Used Saab from your friendly Saab dealer could ease those concerns. You'd have a 6 year 100,000 mile zero deductible factory warranty from when the car was new instead of the warranty expiring at 4/50 just when you might start to need it. And the Certification involves and extra thorough inspection including title history, service history, bodywork and wear items.
9-3 require maintenance only every 10,000 miles. A 10k service is $99 here in San Diego. Package price for a 30k major service is only $245, but realistically somewhat more. Saab parts and service is very much in line with other high-line cars.
The only achillies heel I can relate for a 9-3 is the HVAC knobs seem prone to failure. You could avoid that by getting a 9-3SE convertible with premium package which has the digital ACC which seems bullit proof, and enjoy the upgraded sound system, memory seat and power passenger seat too.
