1990 SAAB 900 review from North America
"Great car for the right owner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had the oil sending unit replaced, $30.
Brakes, exhaust, tires, battery... general maintenance.
Engine bypass hose replaced, $66.
Front axle, CV joints, ball joints, transmission linkage replaced, $450.
Heated seats stopped working.
Dash lights don't all work.
Airbag warning light and check engine light are always on.
General comments?
Despite its maintenance requirements, this has been a great car, always getting me where I need to go at about 850 miles per week or more.
Great handling and very fun to drive. Gets a lot of looks from other people.
