'99 with only 20K? Very nice find. I bought my 99 viggen last year with 21k and couldn't believe I found such an immaculate, low mileage car that was 5 years old. Can't say mine only has 20k on it anymore...I really enjoyed it last year and am up to 35k now.

Nothing looks as pretty as a 3-door lightning blue saab (I may be a little biased though).

Don't stress about the reliability too much. Ever seen the pictures of the new generation M3 motors blowing up from over-revving?

There are 130 cars that are listed. Now that's some scary stuff where I'd be worried.

Your dealer can test your MAF to determine if it's out of spec. Granted, it might not be caught right away but should indicate degradation over time. In fact, I just had mine tested today (I too was worried about the recent posts), and everything looks normal. The service department at my dealership has been great, and they think it's much more of a concern for high altitude locations.

Be careful with the wheels if you still have the originals - I just found out I have yet another bent one, and it's one I just replaced last fall.

Are you going to be driving your new ride in the snow? I've been trying to decide if I want to do that to mine or not (I live in Cleveland). It's my baby and I have a feeling I'm going to feel guilty putting it through that kind of punishment.

Have fun with the new ride! You'll love every minute of it!
