Steve's attachment to the car is understandable. I parted with my 900 after only 13 years.
However, the car is a machine not a being. After the metal is worn out, the particular component doesn't work. For example, the water pump gives out or the headliner sags no matter how nice you are.
I look at it as "Hey, Sally (name of the car), you've been reliable but the youngsters (newer model Saabs) have some real advantages like more airbags and more horsepower. Of course, their dashboard knobs wear out and their radios are crap. Have a nice life as a used car for someone else."
