I am about to buy my firs car, I want a Saab more than anything but everyone keeps telling me not to. I have a good feeling about this car and I can't imagine myself in anything else than a Saab. It's an 05 9-3 arc with 100,000 miles.. Is that too many? Do they still run good at this amount? I need good advice and personal expiernce before I make my decision. Please and thank you!

Hi there,

100,00 miles is fine as long as the car has been serviced regulalrly and looked after with receipts/hiustory to back this up.

I thought so also but I'm getting it from a private seller, the price is 5,500 $ is that about right? Thank you for the response.

The engine is very strong, but as it's turbocharged, make sure their is documentary evidence that the oil has been changed regularly. The suspension will need several components renewing, but that's fairly easy to do.
