Lokking to upgrade my wife's car, what 900 with auto? Posted by Arabiflora [Email] (#1129) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Arabiflora) on Fri, 19 Nov 2004 19:28:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Mine is an '88 900S, 16v N/A, 5 spd, 3-door. I love the car, 327k and 400k is on the horizon.
Wife's car is a piece O'shi& '90 Grand Am, 80k and on it's last legs. She needs a replacement daily driver and I'd like to find a Saab that she's comfortable driving and that I'm comfortable working on. My biggest concern is that it will have to be an automatic transmission to suit her and my less-than-scientific review of board posts suggests that the auto tranny is the weak link in '88-91 900 options. Two questions:
Is my impression correct re auto tranny problems in that model range?
Are there models equipped with more durable automatic transmissions/drivetrains than others?
Ie, as I scan sale notices, what should I be looking for to get a 4-door 900 whose engine is as reliable as the one in my '88, and whose tranny is as solid, reliable, and as lovable as my wife?
