I don't have experience w/ the early Saabs. I did have a sucession of Volvos. They're solid, obviously, but if this is the route you follow, watch for the slumped, hyper-reclined front seats that were built poorly in the last years of the car. I think the 240 ended around 1991 or 2. You'll have to anticipate some repair bills, and Volvos aren't cheap to fix. Another car to consider is an the same era Mercedes Benz diesels. That's what we've decided to get our kid when he finally gets his license. Durable, slow, safe-ish (any new car has far better safety systems than these old tanks).
