The only thing really wrong with it was the torn outer CV boots, which led to replacing the driveshafts in his driveway. Other than a sometimes smell of gas from a possible fumes return line or something the thing has been humming along just fine. 10$US for a used SAAB should get you a _fine_ example. In fact I'm thinking you could spend half that on one with a good interior/chassis and spend another thousand or two just getting every little thing taken care of by a professional. TBerk
