#1: YMMV. Some people have few repairs, others have more. In two years our '03 9-5 Linear SW has been in for shocks, a couple of bulbs, and some other CPO warranty item (now approaching 70K miles). Not a big deal to me, even if we had to pay for them. I don't like it, but about normal for a European car in its class. I've had Euro cars for 40 years, so it seems normal to me. The good news is that it's not some Japanese appliance.
#2: My wife puts regular in the wagon. 23-24 mpg local, 30-32 highway. Seems to run fine.
#3: Saabs don't hold their value all that well. Yours is a 9 year old car, albeit with low mileage for its age. But Saabs also have low demand. That's why a lot of us here buy them used--you get a lot for your money.
