You are a very wise owner. You likely saved yourself having to replace the engine. Best case if the belt breaks or jumps teeth is bent valves and worst case would have added piston damage. I too own a V6 with 58K miles. My 60K is coming up but I asked the Dealer to do it early and they said no. Apparently since SAAB pays for the first belt (tensioner and idler not included), it has to be done right at 60K miles. I think they are wrong but I listened to the cam-belt cover area and it sounds quiet. I also run the car easy so high RPM's are rare for me. Enjoy your SAAB. I love mine.
