I love when they say they will never buy GM again, when by the looks of it, never have.

I was thinking the same thing. They probably did not set out to buy a GM car- they set out to buy a SAAB and got a GM car by default.

I wonder when they will start liquidating these cars.

SAAB just gave a big f u to all their owners. They are denying all warranty claims for cars sold in north america...

An 03? 110k miles? Is that surprising? People have such low expectations with vehicles, how do any qualify as bad? Just about all of my vehicles are at or over 200k, most are over 20 years old and neglected by previous owners. It always bothers me when people consider cars over 50k as old.

That's great, but how many of those old cars have electric luxuries and modern safety equipment that could go wrong as well? Also, how many of those cars did their first 110k with outer tie-rods and a neutral safety switch as their only repairs? It's a good statistic man, anyway you slice it. Any car can last 200k, but not every car can do it with minimal repairs. It's a solid car. But 100k is still alot of miles. My family is not easy on their cars, so 100k trouble-free miles is a victory in my book.

A drop in the bucket in my opinion. I don't know which I despise more, mercedes, bmw, or saab.

saab sucks, esp with the inversed engine/tranny combos in the old car, who the **** puts the fan belt next to the firewall?
