1979-1993 & 94 Conv [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
Just wanted to pass on a message to you all - sort of a thank you. I have a '94 C900 Vert that I bought 8 months ago for $2K. It had 98K miles. It was in a pretty neglected state internally even though it had always been maintained by International Motors (Local VA Saab dealer), externally it was a diamond in the rough, and I was looking for a fun project. Wanted to share with you all the work I alone have done on the car. Note the * which is the first time i've done this type of work on any car i've owned, and man have I owed alot of cars. Without the advice from this board, Bentley, and the great Saab sponsors I don't know how I could have done it. Thus, if you are considering a C900 Saab, they are affordable cars and fun to work on. But you better have a damn good set of tools, a good junk yard for cheap replacement of all the 10 year old crappy plastic parts that fall apart if you are not careful, and a favorites link to this site! Thanks - and happy motoring to you all.
