for 4-5k, you SHOULD be able to get a well maintained, solid car. Be patient. Look for privately owned with lots of maintenance history (3k oil changes, all major service done on schedule). Find the local Saab specialists (there are a few in SF) and see what they know of for sale. They may be able to point you towards a nice example. As gorper says, do not limit yourself to 'just SPGs'. There are precious few late model 3dr 900 turbos and NO 92-93 SPGs. There is little difference and the differences can be added later if you really want it. If it is a Cali car rust should not be an issue. If it comes from somewhere else, make sure you post here to get a list of 'known rust spots'. If you can find one with 80-100kmi with 3k oil changes and no body repairs, you can expect to pay 5k or more. I had a '92 900T which was beautiful and I wrecked it. I have been looking for a replacement and am getting one from Seattle (I'm in Ohio). Most of the NE and midwest examples are rusty. Southern cars are very few (I recently bought a nice, southern '92 900T with 170kmi before I found this Seattle car. It needs some TLC and a bit of work then I'm going to sell it in the classifieds here). Set up a daily search on autotrader, cars.com and TSN classifieds. Once the right one shows up, buy it. Rust free 3dr turbos go fast. Low miles a plus. Oh yeah, do not be surprised when you have to spend up to 1k to get this 'new car' in shape and reliable.
