1992 SAAB 9000 Turbo CD review from North America
"I gave it back to the person that sold it to me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought it for only $3,000 and spent about $15,000 over three years repairing and or replacing just about everything in the car. I knew that it needed a little work at the time. I just didn't know that the labor rates and parts costs would be as high as any car. The rebuilt motor cost about $4,000.
General comments?
It was very quick for a four cylinder and had great gas mileage. But the air conditioning can't handle the hot Sacramento summers and there was no way I could keep up with a 740 BMW.
