This advice comes with no promises whatsoever, but.... If you are looking for a reliable car to take you over 200,000 miles, get a SAAB - whether it has a turbo or not, they last forever.... I have a number of contacts with well over 200,000 on their original turbos, one guy with 335,000. So don't worry about it... Besides, nothing beats a turbo...they sound great and perform well....
