Saabs of that era have such an appeal. When I was in the car business I picked up an '84 turbo with 92,000 miles and drove it for nearly a year before I could part with it. I could never quite put mt finger on why the car appealed to me so much, but I think I've figured it out. '84/85 was really the last year before Saabs started turning into a yuppie-mobile. It was the last year before they started getting "fashy." It was when they were still just a sturdy, economical, somewhat unusual car and had yet to be "discovered." That's what's always appealed to me about Saabs and I think that's the last year where the image and mission where the same. Saabs still do all of those things, thank goodness, but they also have an image that's a bit contrary to why I buy them.
