the VW just wasnt going to cut it. its comfortable, and now that everythings fixed has been reliable, but it just wasnt what i wanted. so i got a saab 9-3. after doing some research they dont seem to have too many reliability issues, and some of you guys said it would be a good buy. after driving it for a day and a half, i am super impressed. this is a great car for what i paid. 5700 for the car (99 9-3 couple with 76000). the bank said the car was worth 8100, so i had them cut me a check for 8k and i had the dealership add the super duper no deductable 36 month 36000 mile warrenty. it covers everything wear parts and all… even the turbo 😉 😉 ---

I like it. Plus it’s something that seems unique to the board, which gets a :tup: [http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/overview.aspx?year=1999&make=Saab&model=9-3&trimid=-1&src=VIP&tab=0&sub=-1](http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/overview.aspx?year=1999&make=Saab&model=9-3&trimid=-1&src=VIP&tab=0&sub=-1) Some of the specs are listed kinda goofy. It’s not an autotragic is it? Glad you like it, you seemed more frustrated than anything with the VW. ---

Glad you like it, you seemed more frustrated than anything with the VW. 2.0 turbo 5 speed 185 hp what had me frustrated with the vw was the issues the lady didnt tell me about. had i known i wouldnt have been pissed. now they are all fixed, but it just left a bad taste in my mouth. now its fixed and for sale cheap. my loss will be someone elses gain. ---

i am not at all buying that they cover the wear items, i think they are blowing smoke up your ass on that one. i work at a dealer and i think i have delt with all the ext. warrt. companies out there and nobody covers wear items, moldings, weatherstrips, trim ect. so i would read the fine print. good buy on the car though ---
