to know the answers to that. No two cars or drivers are the same. The turbo on my 9-5 lasted 175,000 miles. Others have failed and been replaced during warranty. The best way to buy a used Saab is to have knowledge of the maintenance performed (as you do) then make a decision based on the risk you are willing to take. Arc V6 turbos are more expensive to repair from what has been posted here. The 2.3 lpt turbo job is around $900 parts and labor at most dealers.
