1989 SAAB 900 SPG review from North America
"Most exciting car possibly attainable with less than $5000"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The headliner has begun to sag.
The engine has a knock, and does not get full turbo boost.
The leather seats in the front are cracking.
The floor pan rotted out and needed replacement.
The wheel arches have begun to rust, and the moldings are falling out.
General comments?
The car handles great, and doesn't even lean in corners.
Despite not being full boost, the turbo still makes the car faster than others.
The paint is still great.
Worth the time and money in my opinion.
I love looking at people and catching them pointing at my car, because it is the dream car of people in the past, an it handles like it is in a dream... Awesome.
