Subject: Re: What's acceptable mileage on used 900
More information would help. Showing my bias, earned the hard
(expensive) way - keep away from a 900 convertible newer than a 1994.
The NG or GM Saabs have earned a reputation for having problems with GM
parts (most of the elctrical stuff). The GM V6 is a horrible engine -
learned personally the hard, expensive way. The automatic in the GM 900
has a history of expensive electrical problems - no suprise here. Also,
as expected, the convertible is not as solid as the sedan. The Classic
900 convertible has a much more reliable engine and transmission. Test
drive the car with the top up as well as down. I found the visibility
is great with the top down. The tiny (compared to a hatchback) rear
window results in poor visibility out the back.
