So far there seems to be no reason to avoid the V6. Because I own one (a '99) I scrutinize this and other boards for problem patterns and have noted none. Nor, from what I know, have there been any V6-specific service bulletins from Saab.
The V6 has a timing belt with a 60k-mi service interval. Saab pays for the first one, meaning you'll have to pay for one at 120k. File this fact under "no big deal".
You can discard whatever you may read about V6s in the NG900 and 9000, they were completely different engines.
Bottom line--if you like driving the V6 and it's an attractive deal, get it!
