Tex's post hits on something I've been thinking about for a while. I'm interested in buying a used Saab convertible, and was wondering what years are "good"? I've owned older Saabs, a 1966 96 2 stroke, a couple of Sonett 3's, and a couple of mid-80's 900's. My 900 Turbo was great, so I would even consider an "old type" 900 convertible, but I would also appreciate any input as to how new of a convertible I could buy before it got too far away from being a "real" Saab. Thanks in advance!
