This car has proved to be an unexpected performer and although it needs work, it is still a good investment.
I don't suggest buying a car this old, but a later year of this model would be highly recommended. I think the reliability and performance of Saab's vehicles are remarkable and well worth the money.
Sounds nice. I am getting a SPG on Wendnesday. For five hundred dollars! The gentleman bought it at an auction. Along with the SPG, he is giving me a 1991 "junk" Saab for parts. Axles, turbo parts, all readily available if I need them. I have driven the car and have fallen in love. The car I'm in now is about to give up the ghost and I couldn't afford a car with payments. I hope this "leap of faith " is worth it. I have heard two basics sides to these Saabs."Love them, or hate them."
