My (our?!) leap of faith Posted by arabiflora [Email] ![]() ![]() |
"You're insane!" says the small little voice in my head as the Ebay auction wound down.
"Don't do it!" says the voice of my friend who sold me his/my '88 900S and got me hooked on the C900.
Insane or not, I did it: I won(?) an Ebay auction for a '93 900S 4 door, automatic SIGHT UNSEEN (with the exception of pics posted on sales site (Ebay item # 4507661464). I did it to replace the POS Grand Am my wife is driving. I did it because I've driven and cared for far too many POS's and didn'tnow the difference til I got the '88. Most importantly, I did it because if it breaks I can probably fix it-- with the help of the Saabnet.
121,500k miles, a ding in the rear passenger door; new exhaust (cat back), transmission service at dealer prior to sale (insert scary music here). Cloth interior rated 7.5/10 by dealer, heated driver's seat, AC, etc. $1425 purchase + $67 dealer temp tag to get it back to Wisc; $195 for flight to Philly from Madison, etc etc etc... I'm looking at $1800 for this adventure.
ASSUMING I get home without incident I will be posting to tell you what I found and ask you what I need to look out for. In the meantime, any words of congrats would be welcome, any words of warning/counsel even more so.
I'll keep you posted.
