Really? You have not seen knackered saabs then? Hydraulic tapets that=20 did not work, leaking head gaskets, smoking turbos, rusty coolant=20 expansion tanks. You really believe that the 9000 you see, which could=20 have half a dozen owners got its expensive oil changed every 3-5k miles? = See how many owners had the car in its last few years and summice if=20 any of them ever changed the oil. You are making a big - in my simple mind - mistake. You are convincing=20 yourself that a particular car is brilliant, even if people tell you it=20 is a high milleage car. YOu should go and see the car BEFORE you decide = that you must have that particular car. If I may suggest to you also, that it is very different car to your=20 previous C900 (I had two of those), and by comparison pretty awfull to=20 work on. Jacking it up and getting it on stands is an experience in=20 itself compared to the C900. To its credit it has normal brakes. > Don't=20 > know where you have been getting prices like that though.

Maybe get a car that you keep longer than 12 months so=20 spend a few months looking for one :-) Charles --=20 Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
