The GT-17 turbo is not great in terms of longevity compared to the Mitsubishi TD-04. We had the GT-17 replaced at 25,000 miles and again at 85,000 miles on our 2000 9-5. Some other points to cover would be:
- Has the PCV fix #6 been installed on the car? (the latest PCV fix update from Saab)
- Have the head bolts ever been retorqued? (this was an issue on the pre 2002 vehicles)
- Has the automatic transmission fluid ever been changed?
- When was the last time that the pulleys for the serpentine belt were replaced?
- Has the engine coolant bypass valve ever been replaced?
- Has the water pump ever been replaced?
