I found a decent 97 Saab 900 SE Turbo for sale. and want to know if I should run or if it is worth pursuing this car. I'm looking for a second car, which would be a "station car" but durable enough to use regularly if needed.
I'm a prior owner or a 2000 Saab 9-5 SE wagon, which I had a love hate relationship with. Loved the car until everything went south on it, and It died on I-96 after one of the valves blew and I lost all power (that was after the AC, SID, Driver Side Power window, sunroof diying and living with either a bearing, motor mount and/or well balance issue for years that caused my wagon to shake over 60 MPH.
In any case, am an fool to buy this car? what should I look for (besides scheduled maintenance of the clutch, oil changes, belts and water pump? Should I be worried about the oil gunking up in this model? Anything else? Are parts difficult/expensive to source.
Looking for any advice, and a decent mechanic in Fairfield County, CT who can look at this car.
