Thanks again for your reply. I had made a mistake on the mileage of my BMW, it's 130,000 kms (80k miles). But in any case.. I see the pros and cons of owning either vehicle (Saab vs BMW). I hate the fact that I'm going to loose the BMW handling and RWD factor. On the other hand.. the Saab was a very comfy car and I do a LOT of commuting on the highways. The Saab has MUCH more options than my BMW.. but again we're comparing apple and oranges. All the toys (electrics) seemed to be working fine. The clutch and transmission both felt good.. I'm not sure about the maintenance history of the car though. At this point.. I'm so unsure about making a decision. If the Saab was RWD.. the decision would have already been made.
