The 2.0L turbo block is what Saab do best :) I'm guessing, but are you a Finlander? No reason for me asking other than curiosity. >> http://nospam.com/turbo/DIY/vin.html - if you've an older one, > you'll >> find out all about it here. > > Couldn't find it there. My VIN starts with YS3DD... and that was not listed. Yeah, yours is too new. Take Adrian England's advice and ask your nearest Saab dealer to supply a work schedule. You could try one of the CarFax type services to check other non-dealer history. In the UK, we have recovery agencies, or "motoring organisations", like the AA or RAC who will look into car histories for their members. Is there something like that in your part of the world?
