Water Pumps for us... Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] (#13) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Scott Paterson) on Wed, 11 Oct 2006 10:04:21 In Reply to: Looking to buy used Saab, Jack, Wed, 11 Oct 2006 09:19:00 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My 85 900 that I bought in 1988 lost its water pump seals and we had a water pump replaced under warranty in out 1999 9-3, but all of our cars have gone close to 200,000 without anything more major than clutch replacement. Our 1983 Turbo went 210,000 on its original turbo and was powerful up until the day the car was broadsided and the frame was bent.
Take a look through the classifieds. A lot of cars are being sold that still have time on their warranties. We've found those to be the best buy. We've bought three Saabs off the classifieds including a 1973 Saab Sonett III that was my daily driver for two years until I got my new Aero.
