1986 SAAB 9000 86 9000t review from Australia and New Zealand
"Great highway car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
CV joint after the boot wasn't replaced properly at 270'000.
Fuel pressure regulator at 220'000.
Fuel pump at 250'000 as well as pree pump.
General comments?
What a great car! Slightly more maintenance then I would like, but the car drives like it's on rails. The two lt turbo engine is slow of the line, but will blow-away much more expensive cars once it's up and running. Great power for passing, the perfect car for long trips!
The other bonus is that it's very comfortable and spacey. It feels very solid and I will miss it when it finally goes!
