It sounds like a nice car and I hope you enjoy it, just take it easy and keep your drivers license :-). I would not buy a 9-2 now because I have a real Saab - a Classic 900. I also have a NG900 and there is no comparison. It is rather obvious what GM did to Saab when I drive my Classic 900 after driving the NG 900. It makes you really appreciate the Classic. Perhaps you should thank us "Saab snobs". Your 92 was "steeply discounted" because the sales were lower than anticipated :-) To loosely quote GM - "No one is going to care about what is in the car, people will buy the Saabs for the name . . . " WRONG!!!!!
