'88 & '89 seemed to be a particularly problematic year for the Saab VIN. I've owned two from this era and neither adhered to this VIN structure. I gather the last of the 8 valvers in '89 were VINned out as a 900i. Who knows? The '87 - '90 period had probably the largest spread of C900s worldwide and so many permutations and convolutions. Is Sven an 8V or 16V? Why should I cheer for you and not the Lunar Trolls? :) Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
