Drove 35 years and over 1/2 million miles in Saabs with only a couple standings.
Our first Saab, a 76 99, quit at 2700 miles because of badly pitted points. Got it home by getting rough on the points with a screwdriver. A new condenser and ventilated points took care of any further points problems. Don’t call this a stranding since we got home without assistance or undue delay.
Also the 99 would vapor lock at high altitude, an hour or so of cool down resolved that. Eventually the pump quit on my wife a few miles from home. Had to go get her, and found it would run for a ways after letting it cool, so got it home in several short drives. Fuel pump was quite worn.
97 9000 refused to start after sitting all day in below zero weather. Fuel line must have been iced up since after an hour in the garage it started and ran well like nothing had happened. This was the only case where we had a Saab towed.
