We went and looked at the Saab today, seems overall to be fairly solid, drives really nice, brakes, clutch, transmission, etc all feel very solid. There's a few problems I found which I'm wondering how hard they are to fix, I've done a lot of car work but never worked on a Saab before. First and most annoying, the turn signal doesn't stay latched, is this likely to be the switch or is there a cam in there that needs to be replaced or adjusted? Second, it has those nopsam automatic shoulder belts, as if I wasn't able to put on my seatbelt on my own. Anyway the driver's side one binds and you have to push it back by hand, I'm guessing I can take this apart and clean/grease the mechanism, but again it's something I've never tried. Dash is fairly badly cracked, is this the usual or can they be found in good shape at wreckers? Anybody ever swap one out? I can do it in an hour on a Volvo 240, zero experience here though. Thanks for any feedback.
