Is a 2003 Saab 9-3 convertible a good car you have never had a European car before or a turbo engine How expensive are they to maintain?

I own A 2003 Saab 9.3 Convertable And I LOVE the car!!! It is an upscale car in the GM family and is therefor a little on the high price side to service and maintain but not any more so than most upscale car lines. The biggeest deterrant is the lack of dealers in any area to service the car and many smaller shop don't want to work on them. I am an 35 year GM technician working in a Cadillac shop and would strongly recommend that if you are looking at a used model be sure to have it carefully looked over by a QUALIFIED service tech and make sure the car has been serviced on a regular basis as this car will NOT survive if it is not properly maintained and serviced at the proper intervals. AS with ANY car with a turbo maintenance is CRITICAL !! If you find a good car as I did you will also Love this Car. Hope you ENJOY!!
