Thank you for the encouragement, yesterday I picked up our new to us '02 Linear with 72k!
The guy I bought it from was a "caretaker" for a guy who was out of the country 9 months out of the year. Part of his job was to take the Saab out every two weeks for a 30 minute drive. Other than a few minor cosmetic things the car looks fantastic and runs great!
Brand new Michelin Pilots and a new alternator and battery as well!
Questions:
1. The previous owner just put in Denso PK20PR11 plugs. I've always used NGK BCPR7ES(11) I figure I should change them out. Any thoughts? Usually change plugs at 10-15k just as cheap insurance:).
2. The SID unit is pretty much pixel less. If I purchase a replacement does it have to be married to the car with a Tech 2? It doesn't on our 9-3, just not sure how it works on a 9-5 and searching hasn't given a definitive answer.
3. Came with only one key. Best advice on getting another, complete with fob. I know there is programming involved, is it just with the Tech 2 or is the Dell 620 laptop and software required? Again, I've tried the search but it was not fruitful:(.
The Ac also doesn't work but that is livable in the short term and hopefully will be good to go with an o ring or two and a recharge.
Looking forward to working on the car and getting to know it, not shy about digging in and doing the work.
Thank you in advance for suggestions and great thoughts!
