My father had a '70 Volvo 164 w/4 spd for several years & it was time to replace as he felt it had become unreliable after a couple of failures on road trips. Back to the Volvo dealership who did not take him seriously. Down the road he went & noticed a Saab dealership, now defunct (Karns). Out front was a'78 leftover 99 4 dr. in dark blue. Unfortunatley it was one of the Belgian built rust monsters but he kept it until '85 when he bought a new 900 base model (slower than anything I ever drove) My younger brother obtained a pristine 96 model which was wiped out by an encounter with a farmer's tractor & he walked away unscathed. Throughout this time I was driving alot of Peugeot & Simca cars. So now it is early ninieties & I finally get my first Saab, an '89 900T 4 dr. 5 spd. What a beautiful car! Now, after an '80 900EMS, '83 900T hatch & '83 4dr. turbo, I have my late father's last Saab, a red '92 900S hatch & my wife drives an '02 9-5 Aero Sportwagon! I still want a C900 convertible!
