Hi Christopher. My experience of Saab says, take a good look on following things; Turbounit ( bad Turbopressure), Front brake calipers (piston get frozen in the calipers, get you bad/no parking brake), Gearbox ( listen to wiiiining sound in the 5 gear and when you chance gear from 3 to2 gear) Bad watercooler, rust in the bottom of the doors. Good luck from Sweden Christopher Fulwood skrev i meddelandet ... >I met a young lady who is trying to sell a 84 Saab Turbo.
