I use Quicken so I have records handy going back to January '98. I have a '91 9000 and it has cost me about $1000 per year for the last eight years including tires and everything but about $2K was because the timing chain exploded. Before that it didn't cost very much. I have a '99 9-3 that I have had three years at a cost of about $980 or about $330 per year. It was CPO for most of that so you would have to add the cost of a head gasket which was free to me. I had a '95 Suburban that I sold in '01. It cost me $4500 for less than 4 years. I had a Jeep that cost me about $4000 for 7 years. Not much different really. Just a matter of luck. I have four cars in the family and three are Saabs. I use a good Indie for the cars that are off warranty and dealers for eveything if they are in warranty. Saabs are the best cars for safety and handling.
