I have had 3 saabs my inlaws have had 2 volvo's. I currently own a 94 9000 cse with 52,000 mi - cherry and I wouldn't trade for anything. It is the most enjoyable car I have ever driven, I can't believe I own it. My inlaws have had good luck with their volvo's and given a choice on a saab 900 or a volvo both auto's I would probably go with the volvo.(Especially if cabin space is important) I never before I owned a 9000 or liked the idea of them and was a die hard 900 fan, (I still wish the ignition was in the floor on my 9000) but after owning one I wouldn't have anything else. I must admit that I haven't owned a straight shift for a few years and have forgotten how much fun they are to drive so please forgive me to all those 900 fans. I would advise you to shop around a little, I just picked up my 94 9000 cse for $12,700 w 53,000 orig. mi. I don't know what part of the country you live in prices seem to vary quit a bit in different regions. If I can be of any further help please feel free to e-mail Good luck - John BarnBūrner® wrote in message <35c295ee.372836506nopsam.supernews.com>... >On Fri, 31 Jul 1998 20:50:52 -0400, rsthnopsamnet.com (Bob St. Hilaire) >wrote: > >>Simple question?
