about 2 months ago, i started having a whole slew of problems with my 92 900S. this prompted me to start looking around for something a little newer, and i ended up getting an excellent deal on a 97 900SET. my wife and i decided that we would get rid of the 92 and keep her car (a 91 saturn) for daily commuting needs.
i sent the '92 off to my hometown mechanic (he works on it in his spare time in a barn), and settled into the '97.....i love it - even though i did run into the infamous idler pulley/belt problem after 3 weeks of ownership. the car is spectacular, but i would have to agree with MJM that i don't have quite the sense of reliability with the new one as i did when the old one was in it's prime. but hopefully that feeling will go away after some time.
but over the last couple of weeks, i have started to miss the old one. the mechanic fixed the problem for a mere $150 (new water pump and set of belts) - i could never do that with the new one because he only likes to work on classic 900s.
well, since the old one is in great condition again, we have decided to get rid of the saturn (which i never fit into in the first place) and we are keeping the '92. we will officially be a 2-SAAB family!
THAT is what i call the best of both worlds.
