Nice Price for a nice car. You will have this for quite awhile.
I got hooked on Saabs late. A 9000 in 2001, and a 9-5 in 2008. These cars have a nice road feel, and I have actually been able to keep repair costs at medium.
It is funny, here in Maine these cars still have a great reputation. I live a modest life and sometimes am even embarrassed because some people see the Aero and think I spent big bucks, when in fact it is just a heck of a bargain that I bought in North Carolina.
I am even warming up to the new 9-3 which I swore that I would never drive. I guess that I am addicted. I just hope that somehow the brand continues. Yes, I am a little worried about parts, but mostly that we could all lose a sensible car just when the world needs more sensible cars. Why don't these catch on? Is it the reliability rep? The price? The dealer antics? I just cannot imagine that 200+ horsepower with 28MPG could be overlooked--especially when it is so comfortable to drive.
As always, A pleasure to post and read, Mike
