Technically my income is probably less than that at the moment. I'll be using my student loan money to get a decent car as the school I will be going it is about a 45 minute commute. Why does it matter to you anyway? As for Saabs, I haven't owned one yet that still had the front badge still on, and I've been through three Saabs! My 9-5s have treated me well, but they were all meticulously maintained. I wasn't quite sure of the quality of the GM manufactured Saabs. I will never buy an Audi over 5 years old - they're a rolling electrical nightmare, not to mention bad autotragic transmissions and such. With that said, Audis still on warranty are alright.

Saabs are NOT GM manufactured...they are Saab manufactured in Sweden, in good ole' Trollhattan

Whoops - I mis-worded that. Didn't mean manufactured, I meant after GM purchased Saab. 2006+ Saabs seem to share more with GM cars, such as the interiors.

Have you ever been in one of the Saab SUVs? Ugh. They are basically re-badged GM SUVs.

I have a 2004 95 aero, been reliable but the Saab forum has made me paranoid about maintaining it. No issues with it at all other than trivial things like the back decal coming off but w/e.
