Should I run a mile from a diesel Saab?

Looked at nice diesel Saab recently: my friends say run, what do you think?

Hi Michael,

Split decision; if it's a 9-3 running the 1.9 diesel then it's actually quite nice, if a little clunky compared to more modern cars. 

If it's a 9-5 then yes, run. Terribly unreliable car.
