After looking at this board thoroughly and asking a lot of questions and receiving great answers, I decided to get a warranty from C.A.R.S., which is what my local Saab place recommended. Secondly, a Saab salesman told me he would not be driving HIS 1999 9.5 without a warranty after I told him I was buying a car from a private party. That was pretty honest of him. Bottom line, here's what's going to fail on my Saab in the next 48k after consulting with the masses here:
1. Torque Converter Seal: $2200 repair
2. DI Cassette: $600 repair
3. Fuel Pump: $1500
4. Possibly the heater box, $2000
5. Turbo might go out again: $1500
6. Head Gaskette could go out again: $1500
7. $700 to fix the vibrations everyone talks about...
I paid $2550 for my warranty and it's good for 4 years or 48k. I feel that it was a solid move since I don't have the time or skills to fix all that stuff like some people on this board. I also don't have a lot of money so if the you-know-what hits the fan I'm pretty well covered. Good luck. Deciding on this same issue kept me up at night. Then again maybe nothing will ever go wrong...
