What finally drove me over the edge in my first phase of Saab ownership, 1972 and 1974 Saab 99s, was the leaky water pump and Saab's cost for a new one. There was no Saabnet and no online so no online parts sources, and after dealing with a zillion other problems, and rusting frame, and oh, did I mention, I broke a gear in the tranny dumping the clutch leaving a party at which another guy was with the hostess, whom I'd been dating...
So maybe it wasn't the water pump entirely, but that was a part of it.
If I'd known about the electric option, maybe I'd have stayed on board for the entire ride, stead of taking a 20 year break.
Saab improved its product gradually over time while I was away.
