Ok here goes...I would normally post this in the 9-3 forum, but I wanted a general opinion.
In short,car runs and drives fine at 181K, but...even with AAA, I like to take 1000+ mile excursion in my 2004 9-3 Linear.
I have the original alternator, water pump, and fuel pump, plus have read about some T type connector that gets brittle with age in the cooling system.
Boss thinks I should get a newer car for trips and use the SAAB as the short and local work car.
What would you do?
1) Repair or replace those items beforehand?
2) Use the Car?
3) Rent car and pay mileage penalties?
Thank you. Am not ready to buy a newer car yet.
