One of my mates entrusted me to sell his 95 SAAB convertable for him as he left and went back home to England. I still have it here, and get a call about once every 3 months about it. Its not overpriced and it has no engine damage e.g it is in pretty good condition.
He left in 2005.
oh and he has decided to come back here in Jan 08, i'm pretty sure his car will still be here for him when he gets here :D
So if he is thinking of buying to re-sell, think again. You can't sell these fuckers.

I know someone who used to own a SAAB, almost sent him broke! The really weird part is that it was an auto with a factory fitted noisy blow of valve...Comment

Modern Citroen's are Peugeots, so they are much better than they used to be.

I used to work on Saabs. Pretty much anything you need to do to them requires the drivers side front wheel and inner guard liner coming off.
Cunt of a car, usually driven by cunts too. gutless shitheaps.*
Cruise into a Saab dealership and ask how much a timing belt changeover is and smile to yourself on the way out when you realise how much money you'll be saving by not buying one of these shitheaps.

Born and raised a couple of Km from both the Saab and the Volvo factories, I have a lot of experience with Saabs, best advice to a potential buyer is not to buy one. They are a load of crap, worlds weakest gearboxes etc. The turbos are good with a chip tune for some straightline highway racing that's until the gearbox shatters into a million pieces. From a standing still they suck, if the road turns it sucks, good assheaters in the seats though but you wouldn't find any use for that here down-under anyhow.
Oh and i forgot is a newer turbomodel there's like a 50% chance the engine will seize, they totally messed up the crankhouse ventilation so the oil get's stuck in the channels...
Stay away!Comment

As the resident Swede ... what do you think about the early 80's Silly HiPo With Huge Box Flares 99's? Or were they 900's? The SPG ones ... ?

If that isn't enough to make any potential buyers run and hide, I don't know what is. This post should be posted on automotive forums worldwide, Saab should fold up the car operation, and stick to making airplanes or whatever else it is they do...Originally posted by PBjore______Originally posted by BundyBeej

best way to check for bent valves would be look at them with engine sliced into cross sections, just to be sure.
probably wouldn't hurt to do it still in the car, cut the whole thing into cross section pieces for better viewing, and make the thing worth more than a running oneE36 M3 12.92 @ 108.64mph, N/A 3.0LComment
