Raj;
All are items that should be taken care of. Prices seem high, but really
are in line for a major metro. dealer. I am sure you could get the work
done cheaper, but I wouldn't bother unless you have an independent who KNOWS
Saabs.
The leaking radiator is an easy example. As long as you watch the level in
the overflow bottle it's something you can leave undone - probably for a
long time. But you should resolve the issue now, because it will only get
worse, will likely leave you stuck on the side of the road, & has the
potential to result in a seized engine (absolute worst case scenario).
It's a good car, but you're at the point where you need to be able to pace
the repairs or do them your self. If you did all these, I would doubt you
will be trouble free for the next 2-3 years. This doesn't address timing
chain, clutch or transmission repairs, exhaust system, suspension parts &
bushings, alternator... The car is at the age that any of these areas may
need repair. I don't think you mentioned mileage, but I'd guess you are
around 130,000 or so? I find Saabs get expensive around 140-150,000 miles.
