Re: Buying a Used Saab

I am considering the purchase of a used 1996 Saab 900 SE Turbo. Of course
I'd like to buy a new 9-3 but the the time is not right for me and besides
I want a 3 door with the sport suspension. A few questions:
1) This car has a cable operated clutch- is it a chronic problem area?
(I seem to remember some complaints about this on the web or Nines.) The
clutch seems heavy and not all that linear compared to the clutch on my
departed C900. Was there a new part issued to solve the problem?
2) Have there been problems with the transmission or differential as in
the C900? I realize that this is a different assembly, but it doesn't hurt
to ask.
3) Any DI cassette failures? Auto temp control?
4) Any other areas whose MTF (mean time to failure) is less than 5
years?

I would appreciate any input from this group - both satisfied and
dissatisfied. Emails directly to me are greatly appreciated:
Joel Schneid
