TD, the Viggen is a fast and fun car, easy to work on as there's a lot of room in the engine compartment. I've wanted one since they came out and finally purchased a convertible in 2017 with 125K miles. The only problem with it was one top hydraulic line leaked. I purchased new lines from Top Hydraulics and replaced all the lines myself, a couple of weekends working slow in cramped quarters. The plastic lines are all brittle by now and will crumble and leak and make a mess in the trunk. I replaced with correct NGK plugs and new OEM DI cassette and MAF. I replaced all fluids. After a couple of years the radiator leaked and I replaced with Nissen and also replaced all coolant hoses. The only part that I had to replace twice in the same year was the coolant temp sensor as even the new one was defective. when this part fails the car will overheat before the temp gauge on the dash will move. Other than regular fluid changes the car has been trouble-free and I've taken a few cross-country trips with it. If you install a steering rack brace it will tame the ferocious torque steer. Check the clutch, should last long as the Viggen has heavier duty. The Viggen seats are so comfortable that it will have you grinning coast to coast. and it has a quiet roar, close to a burrbble like the SPG. Negotiate for a lower price and park away from the curb or you will need a new front bumper. Is it black? 00Viggen vert, 92TC, 90SPG, 06 9-3Vert
