The BIG problem with the V6 is premature failure of the timing belt which causes catastrophic damage to engine. Belt should be replaced every 30k miles (from 35k on). SAAB do first three at no charge. Check the maintenance history of teh care (icluding warranty work done by SAAB). The belt should have been replaced twice by now and also the belt tensioner should have been upgraded (in which case, the experts say belt will last 60k miles). You can find a lot more details and comments, good & bad, by searching this BB for "V6" and "belt" in the Search windows above.
