Similar situation, 2000 Aero SportWagon needed $3,000 for leaks and repairs. Put $5,000 on a 2008 $25k vehicle and have a big monthly payment after permission from the wife. I woulda' been OK with fixin' the old Saab, but she wanted something "reliable" as the Saab had let her down once. And I do think there's a diminished standard of reliability for a 10 year old 100k miles anything even if you keep after it.
Mixed emotions. Happy to be driving a warrantied 2008 $25k CPO vehicle, not so happy about $400 payments, though I had similar payments on my Aero for 4 plus years. And I miss my 9-5 Aero.
What I don't miss about my Aero and you have the same thing going with the Viggen is the low spoilers and fragile rims.
