The cracked pulley has resulted in a recall for some cars (not SAAB) where
the GM engine is fitted.  Off course it is so easy for a warranty to have
been invalidated thus you have to pay.

On a slightly different note, check what leasing (leasing or rental) the car
has been through.  Ex-rental cars I would say are bad.  Did it belong to one
driver or was it a pool car.  Finally, the essence is if it has  full saab
service history (to be verified by SAAB not just the book).  If not I would
walk away.

Charles
