I owned a 96 Saab Turbo three door hatchback. Best car I ever owned, until I let my son drive it, total loss on the car, but not a scratch on him at over 70 mph impact with an immovable object. Turbos cost about $700.00, installed it myself so I don't know what the labor would have cost. Had 160,000 + and was still very strong and super dependable.
