a wanna-be virgin saab owner seeks advise about what to look for in buying a used saab. I've had this '90 900s checked out by a mechanic, who says there are no major problems with it - rear brake pads will need replacing in about a year, ditto for the exhaust and it needs a new cv boot. The front brakes have just been replaced. Runs smooth and is in decent condition inside (a few cracks in the dash) and out (a minor scratch here, a spot of rust there). Mileage is at 160k. The previous owner took meticulous care and has service records, although he is the second owner. He wants 2k for it, and I'm inclined to buy - but I feel like there's some question I'm not asking. What else should I ask? And more importantly, what kind of repairs can I anticipate making in the near future? Finally, - what does it take to be a good saab owner? I've gathered from reading this web site that these cars require consistent maintenance - what does that entail? I'd be ever so grateful for some advice. Please email me directly at sonjagabrielle@earthlink.net Thanks!
