1. 900T Saabs are worse than Volvo 240T when it comes to cost.
2. worse than the volvo when it comes to working on them.
3. and the performance isn't better than a similarly massaged 240T...for one thing you can easily get a B230FT engine in a 240T while getting over 2.0 liters in the T-Saab requires some work. Although you do get 4 valves/cyl and arguably a higher redline with the Saab engine.
4. I'd recommend you stick with the volvo series and try a volvo GT with a turbo engine before you transfer to Saab.
PS...I've owned both turbo volvos and turbo saabs and have one of each now, they each have their quirks and advantages, chiefly whether you prefer RWD or FWD. OTOH, if I could get a Saab with AWD, I would like that. I like our current Audi AWD.
