I've owned 4 9k's and several C900's. I was one of those who considered the NG900/9-3 as a "GM Saab" and not a true Saab. After owning a '98 for three years I've totally changed my mind. It's been the cheapest to own, most reliable Saab I've ever had--I sometimes go for months without looking under the hood. The styling is definately a little odd (a Saab hallmark), with the right wheels it's a very good looking car from some angles and yet decidedly dorky from other angles. But it's grown on me and may have been ahead of it's time--a lot of new cars are getting the "egg" shape (such as the Prius). It's great fun to drive, more like the C900 than a 9K. In '98 they went to a hydraulic clutch, which is much preferred and the automatic is Japanese made and very reliable. I'd recommend the 9-3 versions, you can get an '01/02 in the $6-7K range with 60 to 70K. In terms of bang for the buck there's nothing out there that compares.
