For the most part, the parts you need are available. In fact, I find the c900 parts are 1) cheaper, and 2) more available, than 9-5 parts... sure, if you are trying to create a 100% original garage queen/show car, SAAB does not provide some things anymore, but there are good OEM, or rebuilt, or aftermarket sources for most things... there are a few exceptions (eg AMM's seem hard to rebuild), and for those you can acquire spares from a junk yard, at least as long as more cars are going off the road than being kept, and I think that is still the case. Last I checked, our local euro junker had about 10-20 c900's and the pick + pull had 4... I should probably stock up. I am still kicking myself for not buying a "spare parts car" someone was selling around the block from me - an identical 900 to one of mine (year, interior colour, everything)... for $300... but I had no space... I should have bought it anyway (and I would have if it had been a turbo)...
