is the 2003 saab 9-3 vector a good car, will it last and is it affordable to fix and maintain?

also why is it so cheap for having such low miles? http://www.vehix.com/inventory/VehicleDetails.aspx?zip=60565&radius=24874&condition=Used&smodel=9-3&make=Saab&Limit=25&SearchPagePosition=15&inventoryid=770000011500F4&N=4294963995%2B4294963993%2B4294963940

Very good and nice car you are looking at. Cheap because they drop in value like a rock. This is good for you. You get a 5 year old car with decent mileage for only fraction of what it sold new. To buy this vehicle regardless of any warranty that may be provided, you need to take it in to a qualified Saab repair shop and have them do a pre-buy inspection. Money well spend. Make sure the shop only works on Saab. This way you won't waste your money when the so called Saab technician is experimenting and learning about your Saab.
is that interior white? thats fucking nice,,,oop's but it don't look green,,,
Firstly, the link refers to a LINEAR and not a VECTOR. Do not go by todays prices, In 2003 the Swedish Krona was really low and the price of a Linear was about 20,000$, so the value has not dropped that much in 5 years, a drop of 50% is supposed to be acceptable. It is a good car and very nippy, go for it but please make sure to check past service records and buy extended warranty, if you can. Edit Ray, the interior is not white but Parchment which is BEIGE and the Graphite Green color gives you different shades of green and black, really nice.
if you don't buy it I will, lol, jk cause thats the car I want too they are good cars, but people have mixed opinions, just get it checked out by someone who knows saab's. It's worth it trust me, if you get it without the saab person inspecting it, you may end up hating saabs, if you do get it inspected, and its a good car, then you'll probably end up buying more saabs. It shouldn't be too much to fix up and maintain if the previous owner did everything on time, so check the records. Saabs are the best for safety, always 5 star crash test, plus they look great. Good luck
