Looking into buying another vehicle of a practial size (other car is 2 seats). I have been looking at the Audi 100, last generation Benz 300 series, BMW 5-series, and of course the 9000. Specifically on the 9000, or can I call it a 9k? In the years between '92 and '95 what kind of problems do these cars have typically? I was a mechanic at VW\SAAB dealer in Seattle for a couple years, but didn't often work on SAABs. I know from that experience for instance that I won't be buying an early 80's 900 with a five-speed. I've seen many an engine/transaxle sitting on a bench, and I've seen all kinds of EXPENSIVE problems with Audi 5000/100 cars to know what to look for there. What do I look for in the SAAB 9ks? I need one with an automatic trans. Are the trannies weak? Is the A/C prone to failure? With a good repair manual I can fix almost anything, but reliability is important.
Thanks for reading all this and for your helpful advice.
