you may want to check the one of the blue book sites for the average cost of the car first. http://www.kbb.com/ from there..and no offense, but an 89 for about $850 (i'm in the US also) sounds a little too low if you want it to get a few good years out of it with minimal repairs. for the search i did (assuming you lived in my zip code) retail from dealer suggested cost is about $3000....also assuming it's manual transmission. you may want to have the car checked out by a reliable mechanic prior to purchase. our first SAAB purchase, although we considered it a good deal at the time, included and investment of about $2000 to get the car to what i consider to be perfect shape, but that's just me. we had to have the air conditioning replaced and a few other things. hope that's helped Julie Scott Morford <neuroticnopsam.net> wrote in message news:PBbw4.237$F7.4717nopsam.visi.com... > So I'm a poor college student looking for some wheels.
