I posted this in the general section and someone pointed me over here, Thanks Mike!
Hello fellow Saab enthusiasts. I'm new to the board and need some help from you all on my upcoming Saab purchase.
My first car was a 1980 900GLE. I drove it from 1986-1992 and I truly loved that car like no other I've had since. For the last decade and a half I've needed trucks for my work but now I'm in a position to get a car again and Saabs are my first choice.
I need a hatchback to haul things but don't really want a wagon so I'm looking at 9-3 hatchbacks. Cost wise the 1999-2002's are in my range. I have serveral questions:
1. I'm curious if there are any years I should avoid or any problems I should look for when looking at these models.
2. Also for those of you that own these models what are your repair costs and do they feel reasonable compared to other American/Japanese cars of the same vintage?
3. Are the repairs on the 99-02 cars so bad that I should look into getting newer one? I'd rather not incur the payments on a newer model but if i'm going to be hammered with repair costs it might end up saving me $ in the long run....
Thanks in advance for the help!
Peter
