...its an '89 900 turbo, but the sides of the hood say "SAAB" rather than "turbo". Possibly the car was in a frontal accident and when they repaired it they put the "SAAB" badge there....maybe that explains the low asking price?
I would follow the advice that most others gave, i.e fighting for your money back and walking away. You need to really be patient, and when shopping for a car this old, I would really try and buy through a private owner, some nut who has all the records, and who is as much shopping for a buyer as you are for the car. Thats how we got our Nissan pickup.....$2000, and 8 years later it still runs beautiful (was recently valued at over $3k :) ). The previous owner was a real nut, I remembering him telling is "easy on the clutch...I gave it premium and thats what its used to...etc... the key is JUST BE PATIENT...I shopped for over a year for a C900 until I "settled" for a new 9-3 hehe.
So, very sorry to hear about the car, just the other day you were so happy-hang in there,
I'll talk to ya later.
Alex
