I sold my Saab 900 at 200,000 miles because it was rusting apart after 17 years. The person who bought is still driving it today, so I would expect that it might have another 25,000 mile on its odometer. When I go down a back country road, I wish I was still in the old Saab. > > > Also, are there any worthwhile suspension mods for my car? > Dave
