What are some common problems with the Saab 9-3 Aero?

My neighbor is selling his used Saab 9-3 Aero. It has low miles, is in great cosmetic and mechanical shape, and has an amazing price. The only thing is that I’ve had bad luck with used cars in the past. Does the Saab 9-3 Aero have any common problems?

If you can find a low-mileage

that’s in great mechanical shape, you should probably pull the trigger. The Saab 9-3 Aero gets a four-star out of five-star safety rating from RepairPal, which is quite the honor. However, the car can have some issues, so watch out for some of these common problems with the Saab 9-3 Aero:
  • Traction light constantly illuminated due to a “corroded” warning
  • Loss of engine coolant due to leaky gaskets or a faulty water pump
  • Faulty suspension due to springs, struts, and bearings that wear out at around 100,000 miles
  • Cracking of the exhaust system
