The turbo was replaced on my 2002 Saab 9-5 in February 2008. It went again in April 2009. GM would not cover the repair because the 12 month warranty had expired. Estimate for repair is about $3000. Does anyone have suggestions for a less expensive way to repair - used parts, etc?

I can't afford $3k - and don't know that it's worth putting that much money in a car with 138k miles, so the car is just sitting in the driveway.

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

CHECK this place for price on a turbo, goldwingsaab. Com, get phone # from site & give them a call, also check e-bay, find out which turbo u have on car, if it is the high pressure turbo or is it the low pressure type, or better yet which model saab u have, liner, arc or aero, state it and I can tell u.
