1985-1998 [Subscribe to Daily Digest] |
I love my 900 convertible but with winter coming, a leaky roof and a 8 yr old who is getting a little tired of moving her backpack,lunchpale,and assorted kid crap in and out of two doors, I have decided I need a 4 dr. My new found loyality is to 90's era SAAB's and I have decided the 9000 Aero 5speed is the one for me. Here are the two I have narrowed my choices down to. Opinions on prices, features, what to look for, ask sellers, feedback, advice, all WELCOME!

Candidate 2:
1995 Saab 9000 Aero - $2500
This is a 1995 Saab 9000 Aero, 4 cyl Turbo 5spd. Car is fully loaded. Heated power leather seats, cold A/C, power windows and locks, cruise, power moonroof, Harmon Kardon factory amplified sound system which is powered by an Alpine motorized cd player complete with remote and ipod jack ( cost $600 new ). This car has been VERY WELL maintained. I am the third owner. This car runs and drives better than some new cars I have driven. The only problem with this car is the speedometer only works until 35mph. The first time I drove this car I fell in love with it as I am sure you will. I am forced to sell. My wife has lost her job and the family must come first. I have title in hand. The mileage is high and scares alot of people (195k) but if you drive this car you will be amazed. Asking $2500 No TCS from the factory.
Thanks in advance!
