Here are the "unexpected" repairs of each car since we have owned them...
92 Accord LX 103k (4 years)
Distributor $175
Radiator $400
oil sump gasket $50
Also, 5 gear is starting to grind, and power outlet melted.
Additional things to consider on Honda (not needed on SAAB)...at 90k had to pay $400 for timing/balance belt plus $60 every 15k for valve adjustment.
91 9KT 135k (1.5 years)
Clutch M.C. $200
(prior to ownership the most recent work was A/C work with retrofit)
Possible wheel bearing going bad (will cost me about $100)
My sense is at this point the Accord has reached it's prime and we are going to unload it soon... making some wierd sounds and some rust. We will keep the 9000 indefinitely. In my opinion the SAAB is made of better materials, and is generally a better design, but with some flaws not found in Jap cars.
