This is the first time ever attempting to buy a Saab, and not sure what to expect. Looked at the car and it's in good shape with 145k on it. My questions are, is $1,500 too much to pay, Is it good for another 100k?, and the only problem that I know of is a occasional CEL. She said the problem according to her Saab tech. is a selector switch in the transmission? This makes no sense to me, but she said the repair would be $500! I am mechanically inclined and can do most repairs myself, so reading the board I noticed it could be a potporri of various problems. I also noticed that a common problem at this stage of the car's life is the alternator (she has replaced that a short while ago). So any feedback would be greatly appreciated as I would love to buy this car. The car has been serviced over the years buy a certified Saab tech. and she has the paperwork.
