I am a broker for Saabs and your car would probably bring between $ 800 -$7800. Bought a 91 conv with 32k auto new top etc for $ 12500......earlier this week. I'll sell your dealer a load of 89 converts with less than 80k for 8500-9500 Derek Harkema Kim Likakis wrote in message ... >In article <35ef6fb7.117796619nopsam.msy.bellsouth.net>, >lorussonopsamnet.net (lorusso) wrote: > >> Just want to heat some discussion on that topic... > >Interesting subject.
