#14 of 67 Re: 2003 Saab 9-3 Convertible [autoedu] by jeep53 Feb 27, 2007 (2:21 pm)
Replying to: autoedu (Feb 26, 2007 8:55 pm) Thanks so much for your reply. I appreciate it very much. I'm currently looking at a 2003 SE convertible and the price seems to be very good. Around $16,000. I think I could get used to not having an armrest like you said. I haven't had a convertible in more than 30 years and it's about time we had a fun car to drive. What concerned me was the longer trips but you answered that question for me. Thanks again and good luck with your Saab. Enjoy!! By the way, have you had any major problems with it at all?

Replying to: jeep53 (Feb 27, 2007 2:21 pm) Thanks for your info about the armrest you can purchase for the Saab 9-3 convertible. I looked at the site but it said for years 1999 thru 2002. I thought the '02's and '03's were the same interior but I might be wrong about that. I'm going to send the company a question about that. By the way, was it easy to intall and did it help much? Thanks again for your input. Replies to this message: esfoad (Feb 28, 2007 6:44 am) jeep1999 (Feb 28, 2007 9:32 am) esfoad (Feb 28, 2007 10:48 am)
#20 of 67 Saab Maintenance by autoedu Feb 27, 2007 (10:56 pm)
Just keep up with basic maintenance. Here are a few tips 1 - Always use synthetic oil (Mobil 1) 0W-40 2 - Using above oil, change every 7500 miles 3 - Always use premium fuel, fill up the tank before low fuel indicator light up (avoid driving it with low fuel level)   Unique to Saab - *Use it for long trip (10+ miles), avoid short trips. Saab turbo-charged engine aren't made for running 5 errands around town all within 5 miles on a daily basis   *Saab is ready to go after 10 seconds of warm-up every morning, 30 seconds max. Avoid long idle.   *All saab owner should bookmark http://www.saabnet.com

Replying to: jeep53 (Feb 27, 2007 2:42 pm) It was easy to install. I am used to an armrest so I found it uncomfortable without one. It was much better after I installed the arm rest. Replies to this message: jeep1999 (Feb 28, 2007 9:32 am) esfoad (Feb 28, 2007 10:48 am)

Replying to: esfoad (Feb 28, 2007 6:44 am) Thanks for your help. I appreciate it..I don't think I could get used to driving without one either. I saw the ones they sell online. I'm sure they're worth it. We're considering buying a 2003 SE that we saw..Not totally sure yet what we're going to do, but it looked very nice.

Replying to: jeep1999 (Feb 28, 2007 9:32 am) My 01 was an SE. Great car. Good luck and enjoy it if you take the plunge.
