Things are VERY different in Hong Kong

Here in Hong Kong SAABs developed a terrible reputation simply because the single dealer/agent was not the least bit interested in maintaining the cars sold, all they wanted to do was shift them from the show-room. Up until about 1995 or thereabouts you took your chances with whatever garage/mechanic you chose. I was lucky and got a 1993 9000CD which had been owned by a Bank, the CEO of which was a SAABster, and which was reasonably well-cared for. It had just over 50K miles on it, the headliner was shot but otherwise all was in excellent condition, and it cost me a little over $500 (Five hundred!!) to buy. Even though it had been cared-for, the auto-transmission fluid was like black cream and the brake-fluid looked like strong coffee!! EVERYTHING was flushed, and re-flushed until all was well. Now my SAAB is my dream-car!! Mechanically sound and she goes like a bat out of hell!!
