New to Saab and here are my thoughts
 

Just turned new Saab owner. I was on a very limited budget but struck gold with my new 99 Saab 9-5 SE V6 turbo with the ventilated seats. I'll get some picks up soon, but that means I have to stop driving it for a few seconds. Any ideas how I can prolong the life on this baby? She's at about 100k now and feels strong. Also, any idea how fast these Saabs really are compared to other cars? I'm coming from an SUV and this thing is so fast! I've received so many compliments on it already, plus I love the fact nobody has a clue what year it is-it's in perfect condition. I want to stay with Saab forever, except for my frustration with the GM streamlining in the newer models- I really like mine, and all the buttons. One more question, can you get the V6 in any of the models? I'm now looking for one like mine for my sister, but the V6's seem so rare.

Well to be honest with you the 2.0L 4 cylinder is as much fun as the V6 turbo...and the 2.3 turbo (if you can find a viggen that is or anything else with it) is even more fun. As far as the prolonging the life I'd just make sure to get the timitng belt and tensioneer replaced and make sure you change your oil and plugs on time. May be change the serpantine belt and pulleys..
