" parts were never a problem"
Well, how long ago was that?
Right now, the red flags are SERIOUSLY winning over the green ones!
I know I softened him up a bit which would make it easier on the next person looking at the car.
I figure if I can buy it for 2500.00, I would do the deal. Otherwise I'm not going to have any regrets.
Saabs do have their fans and a person would be hard pressed to find one much nicer than this one.
Anyway, thing to remember is that so many generic parts are interchangeable on more than 1 car (such as brakes, shocks, plugs, filters, etc). And many Saab parts carried over for so many years, and I think aftermarket manufacturers will be happy to keep making the parts as long as people are buying.
According to wiki, that first gen 9-3 uses the same basic engine that was introduced in 1981 and was produced up through 2009, at which time the tooling was sold to Beijing Automotive Group, so its probably still being used.

Like that broken HVAC knob for instance. Now, that would be a "dealer only" item but, of course there are no more dealers.
Trim pieces, body parts, those may be difficult to find as time go's by.
It's not a 55 Chevy where EVERYTHING is reproduced.
