Hi all, I've posted a couple of messages and am getting closer to putting in an offer on a 92 9000 (base model). It's a 5 spd with 128000 miles on it (no TCS! whew) and the seller is asking 2700. It's way too much for the car -- if it were mint inside and out, well then maybe... but it's not -- so I have no idea what he'll take.
Anyway, I took the car to another (as opposed to the seller's) indy Saab specialist for a look-see and they found a list of issues. So, I'm posting now to see what people think of the problems they found. Are these problems things that should keep me away from this car? The mechanics weren't really all that helpful in terms of telling me what is crucial (I think they'd like me to fix everything, of course).
Here is part of the list (I left out the cosmetic stuff, like the headliner, etc)
1. Valve cover gasket is leaking
2. Power Steering line is leaking (from pump to rack)
3. Upper motor mount is broken
4. Needs major tune-up
5. Needs A/C lines and A/C switch (n.b. the A/C seems to work fine to me?)
Anyone have any experience with these things? Any gut reactions? I'd appreciate any and all. Thanks in advance.
