Well I know saabs are great cars now I bought a 9000 CSE 95' automatic 2.3L/Turbo for $2,700 been garaged most of its life, and most is well.

1) Broken Antenna Mast
2) Exhaust Leak Near Turbo & missing two hangers! {Guy quoted 2.9hours to fix it with $30-50 worth of parts}
3) Oil Leak near the head gasket but seems to be coming straight from the metal o-ringed freezer plug the full circle thing right below the red plastic valve cover i think its called, anyways small oil leak there.
4) Right outer-boot torn/busted, rebuilt axel I think is the way to go? Or should I replace the boot only??
5) I cant tell if the clank-clank is from the missing exhaust hangers or the Axel.
6) Electrical grounding problems? It seems my interior lights failed after my right blinker bulb died and my side door lights dim but the full courtesy interior lighting doesnt function besides the dimly lit door lights.
7) Vacuum hoses in certain places to be replaced.
8) Performs well otherwise, exhaust leak has made it perform alot worse, and that clank-clank tears at my heart everytime I hear it :(
9) Central door-locking system failure, passenger door doesnt open from outside unlessed squeezed hard but gentle at the end if that makes any sense, + I heard struggling under the dash when pressing central control console lock door button at first. Using the bypass puller to open my gas tank door :)
10) No manual yet so its hard to even understand whats wrong with my baby

Got her for $2,700 so I think It was a good deal what about all of you?
