#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.

Replying to: esfoad (Feb 27, 2007 9:20 am) I wanted to ask you if the armrest you bought for your 2001 Saab looked liked it was from the factory. I understand you have a 2004 now which came with the armrest in the car. Thanks for your replies. Good luck with the '04!!   Steve Replies to this message: esfoad (Mar 03, 2007 11:02 am)

Replying to: jeep53 (Mar 01, 2007 1:21 pm) Yes, it looked totally factory. This is a factory accessory.

#27 of 67 Buying a 2003 9-3 convertible by nyfocus1 Apr 11, 2007 (12:53 pm)
I’m ready to purchase a used convertible. A 2003 9-3 SE is on my very short list. I have never owned a convertible or a SAAB before. I have test driven 2 cars – one with 22,000 miles & the other with 35,000 miles. I have a couple of questions:   1) The car with lower miles seemed to have quite a bit more of body quiver (or “cowl shake”) than the car with higher mileage. The cars were from different dealerships so the roads were different but I can’t really say one road was bumpier than the other. The saleslady said that with used convertibles, the amount of cowl shake will vary depending on the driving style of the previous owned, the tires (both had P6000 Sport Veloce) and variance in build tolerance. What has been the experience of the people on this board   2) Regarding the tires, I’ll be driving this car year-around. I live 1 hour north of New York City. How does the car handle snow with basic all-season tires.   3) I forgot to check to see if the rear seats fold. I called both dealerships – one said yes, the other said no. was this an option?   Thanks Replies to this message: saablcp (Apr 12, 2007 7:16 am)
