Hello All,
Now that summer is coming to an end, I am looking forward to the Fall and Winter.
I presently have a 2003 9-3 SE Convertible, which I really enjoy. It is paid for as well, and I am in no rush to get rid of it. At this point all it needs are rear brakes and a ball joint. I drove it through last winter. I wasn't super excited about it and the car never gets as nice and warm like 9-3 hatches I've had in the past.
I wanted to see what is out there. I've found plenty of 9-3s and 9-5s needing varying amounts of work and miles for $1000 to $1500. If I were to purchase one, it would be for Winter only; November to the end of March.
The cars I'm looking at are high mileage 150k to 220k miles. Many have had lots of repairs done. Some need lots of repairs. Some even have no rust. I would like to buy one with minimal or no rust. I am very familiar with these cars but am not trying to rebuild the whole thing. If it needs brakes, a CPS sensor, etc no problem.
I guess the question is, have any of you ever bought a bargain Saab? What was your experience? Are there some real deals out there for $1k to $1.5k?
