No problems at all. There are specialist suppliers and despite what Top Gear say most parts are GM.
Saab spares specialist are disappearing fast, the most useful Elk Spares went down the drain just after GM dumped Saab. Te situation is different
from when MG-Rover went under as that left the parts distribution network not only intact but if anything with higher stocks of most parts except
some body panels.
With Saab the signs are body, trim and electrics spars will become a real problem.

My 3.0Tdi has been excellent (way more reliable than my Audi A6 3.0Tdi) so I'd recommend it.
This is mine

Must admit I'm very taken by the looks...sort of Aston Martin'ish due to the Ian Callum design.

Jag S type to old Andy. Ive driven loads of s types when my xj was in for service many moons ago. The xj IMHO was much better than the s type.
I want to get at least a 09 plate. Can't bring myself to buy a new car....too tight.
If you're looking at 09 or later, forget the X-Type.
Current-gen Mondeo or XF if the Mondeo's too run of the mill and you can stretch that little bit further....

SAAB convertible must suffer the worst scuttle shake EVER.
Comes of chopping the top off a tin-top and then trying to make it rigid - a task even the SAAB engineers couldn't master.....
Cheers, Pewe10
