This vehicle-a southern car- has been sitting outside for 4 years. The previous owner is now deceased(this past May) and his brother is selling it "for Parts". My friend would like to buy it to drive. It looks great(in pictures) and will find out the miles on it this afternoon. The brother said his brother bought a Volvo at that time and never did anything with his old 9000. Apparently it was well taken care of at a Birmingham Saab shop and he has past records as well.
Anyway,I guess the question is: is it more trouble than it is worth? He wants $500 for it. We would not want to spend more than another $500 to get it going. I have read of the possible issues: stuck brakes, bad fuel, bad seals, gaskets, tires etc. etc for even short period storage. Would this be getting into a serious money pit nightmare for a vehicle sitting for so long? I have a 9-5 and classic 900 and am somewhat familiar with the 9000's and have convinced my friend that a 9000 would suit him for an around town car; and this one came up. Any advice would be great.
thanks,
Mark
