I'm looking at this saab 900s(1985), The guy only wants 375.00 for it(blue book value). It runs very strong... has some miles on it. (248K, motor has been replaced about 100k ago.) However, it has a few minor problems.. mainly niceties...(As I only really need me a beater to get back and forth to work(4 miles one way) But just curious if anyone can tell me what it would cost to fix them? Curiosity question: 1. Did this model ever have heated seats? (quite nice.. keeps my quirky lower back warm and muscles loose =) Problems 1. Tachometer doesn't work(Well.. at least the cluster isn't showing it working correctly.) 2. Fuel gauge doesn't work... however, the cluster will flash the low fuel light when you have low fuel. (Go figure) 3. 2nd gear is a bit quirky. It has trouble going into the gear..it will just "pop" in. However, it drives in the gear quite well when it's in. No other gear has problems. Could this be a possible worn gear synchro?
