Errm ...hi. We've just signed the papers on a 94 Saab 900s, with the V6 in it. In our ignorance (I really should have done this a few days ago), we thought it looked and drove pretty well, and despite knowing that both the engine and the transmission have recently been replaced, went ahead, figuring that the two most expensive things had already busted once, and so were less likely to come up too soon. Wrong idea? How rotten are the V6's and what tends to happen? (Feel free to email me if this isn't that interesting to other posters, I just wandered in here tonight.)
