inspection at a good Saab specialist indy. Or at least the one I use.
My guy charges an hour of labor (about $70) and goes through the car with you, in person. You can ask him questions, discuss what he sees, etc. And he gives you an idea of what you need to do ASAP, what can wait, what stuff will cost, etc., all useful info when negotiating price.
I'd never have a dealer do it. I just don't think the techs care as much as an indy, who's probably the guy who actually ends up doing the work.
So yeah, at $120 you got hosed. But do the stuff others recommend (which you should do with any used car anyway) and enjoy your "new" Saab.
