Hi folks...my wife and I are thinking about getting a second hand Saab 900s (a 94 or 95 model) as we need a bigger car for our soon-to-be born baby.
I've always admired the cars from afar though I know no one who owns one.
We've heard good things about the marque, safety seems paramount with Saab, and you seem to get a lot of car for little dollars especially here in Australia.
We were tossing up a couple of options. Having read some of the postings, we've decided the V6 sounds a shocker so we've ruled that out.
But two questions.
Is this timing belt issue only confined to the V6, meaning we'd get lots of happiness and little heartbreak out of a 2.0 or 2.3?
And second, what sort of trouble free miles/kilometres would you expect to get out of a 1994-95 2.0 or 2.3? We are looking at Saabs around the 100,000 to 120,000km mark (60,000 to 80,000 miles)?
Hope someone can help.
