It's one of the cheapest cars to run that I've ever owned.

Amazing, I had a 900S convertible that was a giant money pit. I will say that most of the issues were related to the fact that people did not know how to work on them. A/C cost a fortune to fix, the clutch and hydraulics cost me about $2k.

Nice car though, but I should have bought the turbo.

I hear ya, buddy. I'm starting to get little indications that the 9000 might be getting ready to start costing us a crap-ton of money. Thinking of trading it in for a newer Saab before that happens.
