SAAB 9-3 Convertible help?
Discussion
I want one. I find myself idly searching the classifieds for one quite often now and although I tell the OH that I'm "just looking" I think I'll probably do what I usually do & buy one on impulse. And that means I'll buy a dog of one, as is my usual track record.
So, forewarned is forearmed & all that - what should I look out for? I like the idea of cruise control & an electric roof and don't really want to spend more than four grand - should I stop looking or could I be onto a winner? Oh and I'm not keen on auto boxes, but could be convinced.

I have one. Very comfortable. I have the lowest powered, and keep meaning to chip it, but it's not too slow even so.
Looks good, roof seems robust, decent stereo, rear suspension wears so you get Saab shudder, but not hard to fix.
Fun, cheap motoring.
ETA - Bulkhead cracking is not a problem on the latest (2004 on, I think) model, it was the old one from the late 90's / early noughties.
How would I check for that, would it be the usual push down one each corner and look for bouncing when released? And is that all that goes wrong with them - cracking bulkheads pre-2004 and spongy suspension? Cheers for the info so far btw Looks good, roof seems robust, decent stereo, rear suspension wears so you get Saab shudder, but not hard to fix.
