Buying a turbo with 50K miles is no hazard at all if it is well maintained, a friend of mine has av turbo with 300 000 km on the meter, and it works just fine, and that one is an engine from -87, that didnĄt have the water cooling of the turbo. I would be much more worried about buying a V6 since that engine has a timingbelt instead of a timing chain that the 4 cyl have, broken timingbelt means a big money transfer from you to your mechanic. If you still want the V6 i would recommend that you testdrive it, the auto in the NG 900 is about a lightyear or so better than the autos SAAB used in the classic 900 or in the 9000. /Mats
