I'm looking for an opinion on what to buy-- i recently lost my beloved 92 acura vigor in an accident. I loved that car because it was so unique (2.5L inline-5 cylinder engine). So I started looking for a car that was just as unique, and in the same general category as my vigor (compact 4-door sport sedan). the search led me to my local saab dealer, and i was presented with 2 options: 1996 900S, ~37K miles, off a 48 month lease. 5 speed: $16,500, auto $16,900 1998 900SE Turbo (w/ leather and the like), ~28K miles, off a 24 month lease, includes 4 snow tires on rims in addition to normal street tires, $21,000 which is a better deal? is there a substantial difference between the turbo and the normally aspirated engines? are there any mechanical issues inherent to either model that i should take into consideration? thanks aj
