I'm considering buying either a 92 or 93 900S (I'm leaning toward the 92 ragtop). I've waded through most of the literature I can find and I'll be taking one or both to a reputable mechanic for a once-over. As a Saab neophyte, I thought I'd tap into the collective wisdom of the group -- are there any major mechanical idiosyncracies about those model years that I should pay special attention to? They each have standard miles for their vintage and the repair history on both looks unexceptional (no major repairs), but as a long-time VW Jetta owner, of course I'm leary of the $800 repair bill waiting for me around the corner... Is there anything on those model years that's just itching to bust? Any advice would be appreciated. Also, although I'm inclined to stay away from the turbo model, I'm interested in what people have to say about repair/maintenance in that area -- how long before a major turbo overhaul is typically due? Many TIA... **** Posted from RemarQ - http://www.remarq.com - Discussions Start Here (tm) ****
