I used to work at BAY for little while too. Kip and Joe are the only ones I would trust to work on a Saab. Joe is there now. He does good work.

i have an opportunity to buy a saab, but i want to find a local shop/mechanic to talk to before i get it, so i can get an idea of how much maintence will cost me.

i'll let you know though.

I almost bought this http://www.cardomain.com/ride/300982/3 9-3 turbo sedan that was slightly modded. They took a while to get back to me so after doing more research it scared me away from the car.

Just seem like a peta for maintence. Parts are expensive and not much in the way of aftermarket support compared to other cars.....and fwd blah

You know why there is not alot of after market parts for it! The engine is already built Tough! iron block and all! The only thing you need to do is Add a larger turbo and volvo injectors and your day is done! ive seen guys push 350 hp on stock internals but thats really really pushing it on 9-3 viggens by just adding those mods.
