Well SAAB's can be expensive to maintain... You could probably pick up an old style 900 (up to 1993) for about that. I have know a couple of people who bought used 9000s and were not happy with how much they had to spend to keep going. I'm fairly sure you can't retrofit the headlight wipers, but I could be wrong. I'm pretty convinced that the engine is not what will make you want to get rid of a SAAB. 300K+ easy. -Dan Hallraker wrote: > Hello all! > For starters, Saabs are cool.
