we probably wouldn't drive Saabs in the first place. The last year I owned my 91 9k (two years ago w/150K), at the very least, 4 total strangers came up out of the blue and complimented me on my car and asked if it was new. Two customers who rode with me, who were on their way to pick their new Audi or VW, complimented me on my NEW Saab. Last summer, I was the envy of my neighborhood driving my black with tan leather '91 Turbo Convertible w/135,000 miles. I was continually getting compliments on the car in spite of the fact that everyone of my neighbors owned a car that cost at least 3 or 4 times as much as the Saab. My last job involved driving new Audis all day. When I got out of work and drove home in my 91 9k, I honestly felt like I was driving a car that was at least 90% as nice. When I thought about the fact that I could have a choice of my Saab and a check for $36,000, or a new Audi, I didn't have to think long about which I would choose. Strangers won't walk up and compliment you on most Japanese and American cars even if it IS new.
