Does anyone have experince of a 94 900 Turbo SE and its gearbox? I bought the car in April, and have just been told it needs £2800 for a new gearbox. At 77k miles? They have to have to be joking! Moreover, despite having 24 months warranty they refuse to pay for it claiming that its wear and tear - apparently the syncho has worn on gears 2, 3 and 4 and as it hasn't failed completely the warranty won't cover it. Saab UK say the same. The alternative they have offered is to swap (plus some costs) for a different car. I have seen a Scarabe green coupe turbo with elec leather, climate & cruise. Any opinions? I'm at the end of my tether with all this and want my Saab back! Cheers, H.
