I just recently bought a used 2001 9-3. Thus far I am happy with it as I was considering a Vw rabbit or a honda civic as a commuter car. I have about 139300 km on the car. I was wondering if any 2001 owners have a maintanence schedule link or something as I have do not have one. it a little late for it but I'd appreciate comments from previous owners of the 2001 9-3. Thanks

Hi there. What are good replacement tires for a 9-3? I'm close to 35k miles on my Pirellis. They're cupped now unfortunatley. Even though I had rotations done every 5k, I think dealer never actually rotated them on every occasion, but that's another story. Does anyone have any good advice; should I go with Pirelli again or is there a comparable, more economic tire out there? Thanks much!

Greetings from Seattle. I'm contemplating buying this car from Carter Saab/VW and wondering whether I should be leery of the high mileage on this car, considering it's only an 06. Otherwise, the car is beautiful, with almost all the bells and whistles (just no GPS).  Any advice from you die-hard Saab fans/foes?

| I recently put Michelin Pilot Exaltos on my 9-3 and I am very pleased with their performance as well as the ride. They are noticeably quieter than OEM Pirellis too. I did buy them last month when Michelin had $60 rebate on 4 so I saved a little but they are slightly more than most other tires. Go to Tire Rack . com and read customer's ratings. | |

Replying to: froade (Jul 06, 2007 2:12 pm) Around here one dealer has sold Saabs since the 50s, is family owned, and since the 70s has sold nothing but Saabs. They know the car, how to fix it the first time, and how to avoid problems. The other dealership (50 miles away) sells Saab as a sideline, keeps only one mechanic, and in fact has recently dropped Saab althogether. The fanchiase previously belonged to another domestic dealership that treated Saabs (and their customers) the same way (as odd ball 2nd class citizens). I'm too old to put up with any of that!

I'm considering purchasing a 99 9-3 Convertible and was wondering if anybody had any words of wisdom. Here's the link from the convertible section.

Replying to: gormerod (Dec 01, 2006 4:57 am) I'm very happy with it, except for an occasional turbo lag--especially with the air conditioner on. Otherwise, it's performance is good. No problems. Speaker system is not great, however. I miss the hatchback though.

I am planning to buy a used Saab, but confused by its warranty. Is it like BMW's service, which includes almost everything for the first 4/5 years, or it just includes very basic gurantee in the very unlikely situation, such as engine or transmission problem.
