Eric, I too have JUST purchased an immaculate 1996 Saab 900SE turbo 4. (green w/ beige leather) I have noticed the same smell. Wouldn't worry, I think that these cars run a little richer than most. Can't help you with the noise. I am absolutely in love with my Saab! Eric Davis wrote: > I'm the new owner of a 1 owner 1996 Saab 900SE.
