As a second car to my WRX STI Type R, a 1991 H Saab 9000s - low mileage (120k) cost £900 - and do you know what - I can't find one single damned thing wrong with it. Everything works, it starts, stops doesn't make any funny noises and the interior looks newer than my 98 scoob... wierd or what ....

The saabs like a fish in an ice rink ... "parts" of Bletchley - methinks "most" is more appropriate ... [img]http:\\www.stupidnorthernmonkey.co.uk\images\shock ing.gif[/img]

Ahh cool - this is my first SAAB, as I said before, for a car that was so cheap I couldnt find one single fault (ok the crank case cover has a slight oil leak - big deal)..

Mine has 135k on it and is as sound as. Just needs the aircon fixing (not a major trauma but the condenser is blown) and it'll be perfect.
Cost bugger all, runs a treat. Not fast, doesn't handle especially well, but almost zero depreciation, loads of space, 35mpg, and it's got the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in. Oh, and it cost, effectively, £1350.
Cheers to Paul @ TSL, both for the car and for fitting some awesomely powerul brakes. Kick up some dust, but boy, do they stop the car!
