If you like the Saab, and the price makes it worth it to you....

Hit.. Test drove a 2004 before going for the Audi.. Warranty makes it worthwhile. Color?

Saabs are nice, I've always like their exterior design. The interior is why I own an Audi.

As a used car, for me it would need to be ~really~ clean with a known history. They had sludge problems a coupla years earlier that were corrected with a few PCV updates. Newer is better with them, but depreciation is steep. The 2.3 is much prefered, but guys w/the 2.0 Ecotec report great mpg, 34+ repeatedly. BriamWC from BitOG is a Mod at saabnet or one of those sites. I trust him a lot. If you want to ask him any questions, I can get his info or just post at bobistheoilguy.com "General Automotive". btw- since you got it already, oil service on them is to use only top-tier synth. I have a pic of some cut-open filters from Saab after using Auto-Rx, the filters have a lot of crumbleed coke in them. Consider using it. Search for some Saab oil pan pics that are on the web, it's like 2in of smooth tar.

Exactly.. I love their exterior. Interiors are a blah to me.

I might've gone with 9-2 Aero, had it arrived in 2002. No regrets though after 5 years in A4. Still among the most beautiful interiors & exterior hasn't really aged.

GM-era Saab reliability and quality is pretty poor.

after much thought and consideration and RESEARCH...i will go ahead and stay with my audi, even though i dont have extended warranty on this car, and the fact that i have never really had anything to crazy big in terms of problems on this car... i will go ahead and stay with it...

not to mention the interior of the SAAB really does turn me away...
