Hi all - great forum, makes very interesting reading. I'm currently the owner of a 52 plate Vectra turbo-diesel.....sorry, sending myself to sleep just typing that. It's perfectly competent, economical, goes well, in fact it ticks most of the boxes. However, it bores the hell out of me! I *love* the look of the Saabs, it reeks of individuality, and avoids the git-factor of the BMW brigade. I'm in a bit of a quandry however, as in order to switch to Saab, I'll lose sheds of cash and obviously I'm buying high. I'm looking at a 900 (9-3's are too expensive) 2.0 S cabriolet (mid life crisis?), 1996 on a 'P' plate. It's done 54,000 miles. It's an auto box - good or bad? Please, all - am I mad? Is my decision rational, logical, sensible? This car will essentially be the main family car, so reliability is an important factor.... The thought of moving from the balance of a 3 year manufacturer warranty to zilch leaves me in a bit of trepidation. Are my fears grounded, or am I panicking over nothing? Are Saab's as robust as I hear? are they expensive to maintain? And finally, (sorry for the barrage of questions) is it due a horrific service ~ 60k miles? Many thanks in advance, Chris
