Got this car to a mechanic here that I had seen at least one good review about. He does imports, but does have 2 Saab clients. Let's see if I can remember:
-Front Struts and Strut mounts
-Sway bar links
-Torque mount
-New, front caliper (which cost me $500 in rentals while waiting for seller to get part in and repair before buying) is leaking brake fluid
-Oil pan (supposedly new) is leaking oil.
Check engine light went off on its own. Hmmm. Air bag light still on.
One last question please...Again, seller told he had to replace the motor in front passenger seat, so said the Air Bag light would go off after cycle. Have you heard of this being the case? And yes, once the above parts arrive and I'm having the work done, will get him to see if there even is an air bag.
Also, am I crazy to think that an honest seller would disclose issues like this prior to sale...even if a new engine has been installed? I mean, had I know it would take over 3 months, I wouldn't have waited that long. And had I known it would need this much work at the very least I could have set up an appointment in advance and had Leo do the work. He stays too busy to get in quickly.
And no, I cannot pass inspection with the check engine light on. We'll see if comes back on today.
