1997 900SE Turbo with 140k miles
Hi, I'm new to Saabs and I'm looking for advice about things that typically go wrong with this car. I know the first two owners, they were very particular about the car. Judging from the receipts, I am confident they both took good care of it. The turbo has no shaft play and it runs well.
I understand things wear out, What I need is some insider Saab knowledge for unusual / repeating problems.
Here are all the things that have been replaced so far.
What else typically fails / is problematic with this model?
Any help would be appreciated.
