Is buying a new 2011 Saab a bad idea?

Answer 1

I loved my 1995 Saab 900 turbo convertible, but sold it when it was running well before I had yet another 4 figure repair bill from a dealer when something else broke again. They were known for being expensive to fix, and around me (in Northern CA) there were very few places other than dealers who could/would work on them.

Now the dealers are gone. Unless the car is almost being given away, or you are a mechanic who does your own repairs, I would stay away from it. Or have very deep pockets of repair money.

Too bad, when it ran I loved it.
