Get an aftermarket hitch, much cheaper than Saab's (+/- $100US). I think mine is a Drawtite from U-Haul and it bolts to existing points on the chassis. The hitch itself can be installed or removed in a matter of minutes. They also sell a converter for connecting trailer lights for approx. $25US. I also tow a small trialer for kayaks etc. with my '93 Aero. You won't even know it's behind you. A couple of hundred pounds is equivalent to a couple of teenagers in the back seat...
