Still doing the > research. Next thing will be to have a look what insurance would be like. The insurance bands are 14 for a 900 non-turbo and 17/18 for the turbos. Not *too* bad and certainly favouring the injection models for your choice. http://www.parkers.co.uk/owning/insurance_guide/ins7.asp will give you more of an indication for the models. Of all the cars we've owned, the Saabs are the only ones not to be broken into (touch wood). Last year, faced with a Saab turbo and an MG Metro, thieves tried to steal the Metro!? Twice !!! Last week, our Hyundai Scoupe was broken into and they tried to hotwire it, leaving the two Saabs alone ... Go figure. > The other half says "God they're ugly". Mine did too :) She just couldn't see the classic lines, but then she is a VW Scirocco fanatic. Since she's been driving Saabs, she's definitely changed her mind. > I usually put in about £20 a week for about 200-250 miles driving, my > maths may be totally off, but I reckon that to be arround 42 to the > gallon (hate having to convert cash to litres, then litres to gallons). £30 gets me about 300 miles, give or take. It's not as good as your Skodas, but Saabs have more style to pay for <grin> :P Paul 1985 900i 16V 1989 900 Turbo S http://pjgh.go.dyndns.org/saab/index.html
