Go for it! > > Best wishes, > Harry Hill Thanks all ... After reading all your message, I have a much better feeling on this V6. I took a test drive on Friday. I like the way it driven. Very powerful feeling that I got. Anyway, I plan to have a local Saab dealer for a Vehicle Inspection ($105 for about 1 hour inspection) just to make sure. If nothing found to be wrong, I'll go for it. I may have to reserve some money for the timing belt change etc. BTW, I have checked www.saabusa.com for some of 9-5 acc'rys. And I found Sunroof wind deflector (I had installed my own BMW 325) for $78 and rear window shade for $135. The shade is recommend to be installed by a dealer. Anybody done it oneself? Again, thanks ... jk
