As an American Saab owner in Italy, maybe I can be of help. Number one,
buy the Bentley manual from Amazon.com or Townsend Imports - it will save
you a ton of trouble. Secondly, forget ordering parts locally - once again
see our friends at Townsend Imports. I normally receive stuff in half the
time that I would locally, and the parts are the right ones. It is also a
heck of a lot cheaper (no VAT).

There are a number of SAAB certified mechanics in Italy - check the Saab
website (www.saab.com) they offer a list of dealers. But be forewarned that
in Italy not all dealers are alike, and not all parts are on hand.

I myself live in Sicily, and despite the problems that occur, I am daily
happy that I drive a Saab. The robustness of the design has yet to leave
me stranded, even when it takes over 6 weeks to get a part (think radiator
hose).

Good luck.
