Okay, I just discovered & subscribed to this list, even though I'm really not new to SAABs -- I had a '80 900T for eleven years (255k miles) but which I recently sold to an "Air Pollution Program" here in Northern California for $500. Fortunately I found a spanking nice (at least to my eyes) '85 900T with 136k miles for only $347 (well, I was $3 short). Since I was happy as a clamp with this purchase I decided to honor the car by painting a couple of white speed-tripes on it. Anyhow, is there anything you guys suggest that I should do to it, especially since I don't know the history of the car, (I don't even know when the oil was last changed -- the guy I bought it from just got it himself and never managed to get a drivers license(!). Any input would be appreciated. The only thing that doesn't work is its air condition, besides that the ceiling fabric is bulging down on a few places. Other than that, it's cooking big time (not literally of course). -- peer (Remove the word "NO-NO-SPAM" from my address to email me)
