What other Euro brands do you own, presently? If it's not in the list, please write it in a post.

Here's the same poll, but Asian cars: What Asian brand car(s) do you own?

I don't.
Might be good to add this to the list because without voting, you can't see the results.

Dave, you can click View Results link to see them.

I ran out of options as it is, and I had to pare Opel from the list.

I'll create the same thread but with what Euro brands did you own.

Thanks Matt, somehow I missed that.
No biggie. I've never owned another Euro brand either...

-Repaired Positive Battery Cable
-Had ABS controller rebuilt
-Replaced Crankshaft Position Sensor
-Replaced Power Steering Pump
-Replaced Water Pump
-Replaced Serpentine Belt Tensioner
-Replaced PCV System
-Replaced one front caliper
-Replace Coolant Bypass Valve
-Replace Oil Pressure Sensor
-DIY repaired Saab Information Dispaly 3 times (then gave up)
-DIY repaired Siren Module twice (then gave up and removed)

I have an '87 Saab 900 SPG (the performance Saab to have, I don't care what GM says). Bought her in September '09 for $1000, all she needed was a paint job

Then we got hit. The offender ran, and well my poor Saab wouldn't start back up. So right now I have a 900 SPG that needs a new front end

Which is how I ended up here. (Soon to be) father-in-law sold me his 1997 850 base for a grand

1977 Mercedes-Benz 450 SEL

1983 Mercedes-Benz 300 SD

Getting tired of putting money into the '83. ready to trade it/sell it & get a Volvo. (which is why i'm here - that, and knowing Matt thru his other site)

Keeping the '77 - it's in fantastic shape for its age, although the rear seat needs re-stuffing or replacing. Not having much luck with that so far.

Well, Beside my '98 S-70, I also own a 1976 Fiat 124 Sport Spider; its been sitting for a while and needs a bit of work. I do love it though, nothing like tooling around with the top down and feeling the wind in your hair, although you always have to worry about the idiots in the big SUV's behind you and along side too.
