I have never personally owned any Saab 9000's so I am open-minded about the pre-93 and the post-92 9000's. It just seems sensible to draw up some sort of boundary between the two phases of their design/production and give each phase a different name so it's easier to work out whether the reference is to older 9000's or the newer ones. >When I get my finances back on track I'm intending to get the best '97 - maybe '98 >9000 I can lay my hands on. Ideally Aero but Anniversary 2.3 fpt might do ! I >gather that a few were even registered in '98. If I could finance buying a much newer car I would certainly look at trying out some 9000's and perhaps even try a NG900 just so that I can have some personal experience with each group of Saab's from the 80's and 90's. I like the current 9-3 and 9-5 models (esp. the 9-5 'estate' wagons) very much but with a pricetag of more than a whole year's gross income for a basic model, they're not going to be my target car for quite a number of years to come. 8-) But I like the C900's because they're good 'enthuiasts' Saab's, and because there are so many other Saab enthusiasts in the same field as myself so there's plenty of support and help to draw on (and contribute to myself).
