Hi, I'm a potential SAAB newbie but have wrenched many other cars.
I'm looking at buying a 2000 3.0 AWD wagon with a bad engine for $800.
From this thread I expect that the problem was caused by a timing belt break. How bad is it?
Is it usually better to replace the engine with a running one or to repair the broken one? Can I expect bent valves, broken pistons, cracked head? or just replace the belt and go?
How available are the 3.0 running salvage engines?
Also what about the AWD? Any typical reliability issues there?
Thanks,
AZ
