Picked up a 97 9000CSE today to replace one of our aging and rusting 9000’s. The new example has 97K miles and while a New England car, it was rarely driven in winter, so no rust at all. Pretty much a perfect body. But there are some electrical gremlins and the biggest concern is that it is burning a lot of oil. When started cold, the smoke was not noticeable but driving it home, the smoke appears when stopped at a light and then starting again. The tailpipe is dirty and a bit oily, and after shutting the car off, smoke continued to waft from the exhaust for several minutes.
We have owned many Saabs and never had one that burned any oil. Could this be bad turbo? I’ve never worked on or replaced a turbo, so if that was the issue, I would probably bring it to my indy to replace. Any ideas how much I may be looking at?
