9000 Aero v. Volvo 850 Turbo? Posted by Andrew [Email] (#1013) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Andrew) on Sun, 10 Mar 2002 20:42:45 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I'm looking at picking up a second car to park next to my 4x4. I've really narrowed it down to about a '93-94 9000 Aero or a '94-95 850 Turbo. I'm looking to spend in the neighborhood of less than $10,000, and it seems that there is a reasonable selection of either of these two vehicles at that pricepoint. The Saabs tend to have a bit higher mileage than the Volvos. Basically, I'm looking for a very fast, good handling, comfortable car to have a little fun with since my 4x4 isn't exactly fun to drive on the pavement.
I've owned a Saab and a Volvo in the past- a '99 9-3SE and a '94 850 Turbo. (should have just kept the Volvo, hehe). Can anyone give me some insight on these two vehicles? I have yet to find a 9000 Aero to drive or look at here, but I drove a 9000 CDE V6 for about a week last year while visiting family in Boston, so I am familiar with the driving characteristics of the 9000 platform. Which would you choose? Why? How reliable are 9000s? The Volvos don't seem to have a huge amount of problems. Is there anything I should look for in a 9000 Aero? Options? Model years? Problem areas?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Andrew
