catalytic burner cost for a 2000 Saab 9.5?



Specifically I’m wondering if the KingJoe 3 bike rack will fit on a 2000 Saab 9-3 convertible that has the factory spoiler. I’m worried that the rack won’t go over the spoiler.



Just bought a 2003 Saab 9 3 yesterday. Love the car, but it is about to hit the original warranty of 50,000 miles. Should I buy an extended warranty for this car? I know nothing about the car other than it was a leased vehicle previously. If a warranty is recommended, any ideas on the best company to go with?



I wasn’t even looking for mine when I found it. When I saw the car I knew I was going to buy it. (1996 Saab 900 SE conv.)

1. 2001 Grand Prix GT
2. 2000 Grand Am GT
3. 1999 Olds Bravada
4. 1998 Chevy Blazer 2 dr 2wd
5. 1999 Lincoln Town Car
6. 2002 Nissan Altima
7. 2004 Honda Accord

I am very happy with my car. It has more amenities than many on the list above. I traded in my 1999 Chevy Camaro V6 for this car and later sold my 2000 Chevy S10 2wd regular cab 4cyl to pay off school loans. It’s nice to have no car payments and a low mile car, even if it is kind of old.



Solenoid appears to be inactive. Too far from town to tow without paying $200+. Would like to remove starter and have tested at local auto parts store. Finding infoo on this year Saab with a GM V6 has proved quite difficult. Any help is much appreciated.



I am investigating a Saab on eBay, and one problem mentioned on this model (with 142,000 miles) is at around 3,000rpm, the turbo doesn’t kick in. Seller is asking $1,200.



I’m considering getting a Saab 9-3Aero, what makes the aero “unique” from the other 9-3′s?



I was wondering how long a 1999 SAAB 9-5 will last, like how many miles it will go and what kind of repairs it will require.



I have an 03 Saab, 9-3. Dealer says transmission needs flushed. How often should transmission be flushed on these?

Also needs a new battery terminal. Are those difficult to replace? Is it something my husband could easily do?

I’m starting to look for my first car. I’ve looked at many. My favorites are BMW 5 series and Saab 9-5′s. Are these good reliable cars that will last?
