I see that in Loot online (http://www.loot.com) there are a few Saab 9000 2.3 (one in particular, a 1992 turbo with history for £795 and a '91 with leather for a little more) I have a '91 2.3 na with 130k miles and apart from timing chain replacement is in good condition, and drives well. -- Regards, Danny http://www.gaggia-espresso.com (a purely hobby site) http://www.dannyscoffee.com (UK advert for my mobile espresso service) swap Z for above characters in email address to reply
