Just bought an 03 9-5 ARC 3.0T - Saab Forums

OK so we finally took the plunge. We have been putting it off for quite some time now, but the time was finally right. We picked up an 03 9-5 3.0T the other night. I had a couple questions. The car has 33k on it, how do we go about getting the warranty transfered? Also, has anyone had any good luck with aftermarket warranty companies? I have heard bad things about SAAB reliability and dont want to run into expensive repairs down the road.

I am going to try to post a pic in the pic post here, so hopefully you guys can see it too. We origionally wanted the blue, but the deal was just to good to pass up on this dark grey one.

Is there anything I should be looking for? Any known problems? The car has got a ton of torque steer, is this normal?

The dealer graciously replaced the brakes while we waited the night we were to pick it up.(Nissan Dealer). Kinda wish they had thought of it sooner, but you know how that goes.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to many years of good service.

Bought my 03 linear new (was the dealer demo) and the only problem has been discolored door handles which were replaced under warranty. Sounds like the KM's are low just have it inspected (prefer an authorized Saab mechanic) and you should be good to go! It's a great car, a thrill to drive each time.
