...despite quite good rustproofing from the factory, it's getting quite commonplace to see rusted -- even badly rusted -- 9000s. Derf, I think you're in the Pacific NW, right? Here in the Atlantic NE, where I live, it's really starting to affect 9000s. Must be differences in road salts, etc.
Around here Saabs seem to reach a critical age and then the rust starts. Oh well, they don't owe us anything at this point in their lives.
Mark, I'd just check the thing over, especially at the rear shock towers, and if there's nothing structural, I vote for duct tape and a perverse pride in driving an ugly car until it falls apart, Blues Brothers style.
