No. You were nuts to get the Saab. :)

However... that S4 is 8 years older than your old Saab, and at 13 years of
age,
there are things on the S4 that are worn by age, not by use -- rubbery bits
and
electrical doodads.  If you buy a neglected example, and you don't have the
time
to fix it yourself,  you'll spend a bundle at your local wrench's getting
the car
back up to snuff. At $75-100 hour (average rates I've seen in the NE), labor
adds up fast. But if you can find a well cared for example, go for it -- you
won't
regret it.

My 2 cents.
