1995 SAAB 900 Convertible review from North America
"Needs Lots of $$$ Repairs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water Pump and Drive Belt Went at 59000 Miles. Cost $5K to repair because Drive Belt damaged entire engine.
New Muffler at 50000 Miles.
Headlight bulbs changed constantly.
Power Window and Power Antennae replaced at 50000 miles.
Power Roof Sensor had to be replaced at 70000 miles.
General comments?
The car is built tough and I feel safe driving it.
It is not a comfortable ride, but I chose safety over comfort with this car.
This is my second and last Saab 900.
The first was a 1989 that I put 217,000 miles on with NO PROBLEMS at all.
I swore I would drive a SAAB for the rest of my life.
My second Saab is a lemon. I hate owning it because I have a constant fear of it breaking down.
