While I totally agree with brother Dave regarding desirability - I would sooo have this machine checked over by a good wrench miester you trust before any cash changes hands.. Get a good one and it will be a joy out to 600,000kms+ with regular maintenance - get a bad one and it will bleed you dry before sucking much of the joy of life out of you.. The mileage is really good on this one, mostly Highway too I'll bet given your local, but it's almost too good.. I would have a private pro shop carefully go over the compression, the under body, the exhaust system, the brakes, the suspension, the clutch/transmission (an hour a normal shop - about $50 here) before picking up this one's ticket.. It might be that someone had put together something out of parts (which is amazingly easy to to on that vintage of SAAB).. If you see a good old 9000 body with a squeaked motor anywhere out there in that price range - flag me.. -- J Dexter - webmaster - http://www.dexterdyne.org/ all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Martin Lee - You Was http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/098.RAM
