This has had me looking at the price of the properly built 900s of old. Now I am sad. I remember when my dad literally could not give one away.
This SOTW, and the above post in particular, are a perfect opportunity to post pictures of the Saab I picked up this week...The only one I have found for sale in Canada in 6 months, and it was 5 minutes from where I work! Had 3 of these before I left the UK...I bought this with rose-tinted glasses, but it's just as enjoyable as I remember!
I got a good deal on this one, but generally they are getting more pricey by the month!

About 10 years ago I needed a practical shed and wanted something cheap and slightly different. Paid £160 for a 96, MoT failed B204 engined 900XS. Fitted with an LPG conversion that I was told didn't work. For the MoT it needed an exhaust backbox and the only thing wrong with the LPG conversion was that while it said it was 3/4 full it was actually empty. It had 180k miles on it when I bought it. I drove it to Russia and back twice and was still going strong when I sold it at 253k miles. Then got a 9-5SE Turbo with a brand new engine and turbo assembly under warranty after suffering the sludge problem and wife of the time got a 900SE convertible. Other than normal servicing, the only thing I had to do on all 3 was replace the power steering pipe that rusts through and sprays PAS fluid everywhere. Top shed, built like a brick outhouse and can't be bettered for long distances.
I love a Saab.
I had a 2002 9-5 2.3t auto until a couple of years ago. It was worse for wear when I bought it, and as a result I spent several times it's value on it, and gave it away when I lost my temper the last time it broke.
Would 100% have another. Even though some of the cornering angles were comedy. Perfect excuse for looking at and posting some pictures of the old barge.
