1996 SAAB 900 SE review from North America
"Too much money for little return"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Honestly, I don't know where to begin. I have had a new problem with this car every couple of months for the past year. Some highlights:
Valve cover gasket (2x)
A/C compressor.
Lower engine mount.
Ignition wires.
O2 sensor.
General comments?
Maintenance is also very expensive. You must replace the timing belt every 30k miles ($8-900) per.
