But of course the turbo 9000 with leather and ACC (and with working AC?) sounds nice. Scorpio is reliable, too. If budget is limited, I'd not suggest 9000 as this model has more failures and more expensive parts (at least here in Finland). Only in case you have DIY experience including electrical systems 9000 will be a good choise. br Vesku Saab 900 t8 aut -83 Saab 9000 t16 aut -86 Scorpio 2.8i aut -85
