1989 SAAB 900 Turbo Convertible review from North America

Transmission: When I purchased the car the gearbox was leaking and eventually 4th gear began to pop out, it was drive-able, but was a real pain, so I had it replaced with a good used unit.

The exhaust gasket was leaking a little bit, but was replaced with the transmission.

The power steering also had a weeping gasket and it was fixed along with the transmission.

The total for having everything repaired was $1100 which has put the car in like new condition!

I plan to put the car in better than new condition by replacing the dated smoke gray bumpers with freshly painted sleek black bumpers. Then finish the car off with euro style Xenon Headlights.

The car features the classic SAAB body style which is becoming more and more in demand. These cars will also last forever if cared for correctly, for a car of its age mine looks like it just rolled off the showroom floor especially with the top down and the boot cover on.

SAAB did such a beautiful job designing these convertibles which makes them look just as gorgeous with the top up as they do with the top down.

The interior is so Spacious with enough room to seat 4 adults comfortably. The heated leather seats are upholstered with lovely thick tan leather that perfectly matches every aspect of the luxurious tan interior.

This SAAB drives like a dream, being the Turbo model this car takes off and is very throttle responsive with little to no turbo lag.

Being such a sporty car the SAAB has the steering to match. A tight responsive power steering system has always been a prized feature on Saabs.

The convertible top is probably one of the nicest I have ever seen. The top is extremely durable and features a headliner that that silences all road noise and gives the interior the look of a coupe. The hydraulic top motor allows the top to operate smooth and silently.

The SAAB-GUARD alarm system is useless and I am looking forward to replacing it with a more versatile system that features remote keyless entry.

This car is an amazing value for an amazing price. Many people want outrageous amounts for there Saabs, I have seen them go for as high as $11000 which when it comes to quality is still a good deal.
