By that, I mean some of us bottom feeders enjoy (serious dementia here) buying old clapped out SAABs and putting them back together for many more miles of fun driving. My first SAAB (1968 Model 96) I bought in 1981, needing a bent rear axle replaced. Who would of guessed that that would start this odyssey of severe product loyalty? I have only driven SAABs for the last 21 years, having bought most as "project cars".
The most expensive outright purchase price SAAB (not a project) also ended up being the most expensive overall. Though, when I do the math, I got 100,000 miles out of it for not much $. Currently putting that one back together AGAIN for my brother.
I am currently driving an $800 "parts car" that I have put 40,000 miles on with a clutch and CV joints a the only real pressing repairs needed to go those miles. That kind of recycling works wellfor me. So, uyes, Jeff I am with you!!
