Pondering replacing my SPG with a Viggen... Posted by Wil W [Email] (#1148) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Wil W) on Sun, 27 May 2007 21:11:15 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I've had my SPG (1989 Black/Buffalo Grey, 154K miles) for about 6 yrs now and have been considering replacing it with a Viggen. The SPG has been mostly trouble free since I got it and spent several thousand initially to get it to proper condition: head gasket, plugs, wires, radiator, brakes, tires, exhaust, headliner, etc. I've been on the lucky side of the continuum for the last several years with only the fuel pre-pump staring to go on me.
I really love my SPG and it is running great. But I live in Mid West and it is just starting to have a little visible rust at the bottoms of the doors and a little at the body/door rub points. Also, it is approaching 20 yrs and has limited safety equipment. The car is a daily driver and usually 1-2 passengers so the purpose is fun, economical, quick and reliable.
I wanted to get your opinions on this (folly?). The other car is her '02 9-5 Aero Wagon. If I were to get a Viggen, I would be looking for something around $6-8k ideally.
TIA for your opinions.
