Probably due to GM ownership, a good car brand bites the dust.
Hey there....
I just started searching message boards because I wanted a place to vent and also the opportunity to see if anyone else was in the same position as I am. Looks like you and I are not alone. My 2000 9-3 saabs engine also blew very prematurely!!! It only had 49,000 miles. My dealer is in the process of trying to find me a used engine. Saab has offered a little $ (good will gesture) but I worry whether it makes sense to put a rebuilt engine in this car. Could I be in for more trouble. Could it be something else entirely that made this engine blow? Any suggestions out there? I have maintained the vehicle with oil changes and I can't undrstans this at all!!!!
