Let me throw in my 2 cents. I have a 91 SAAB C900 and it's been the best vehicle I've ever owned. I just turned 80,000 and the body is in excellent condition since it stays in the garage most of the week. The only real problem I've had is with the air-conditioner which required extensive work last summer. The trunk is huge with a flat floor making loading very easy on the back. The only knock on the car is that it's slow but I rarely feel the urge to race so it's not really a problem. Although some of my friends razz me about driving a 12 year old car I take solace in the knowledge that I have been payment free for 8 years. The car has never failed to get me where I'm going and I'm planning to drive it right into the nursing home.
