Advise Sought SAAB

Post by rmmagow »

yes, I do know the name of this site :-)
Can anyone recommend a site like this for SAAB? I'm going to look at a 99 wagon and know I'm going to need the same level of help for that as I've found here. NO, I'm not shedding my Volvos, I'm giving my son our S70 and my nearest and dearest saw a SAAB wagon and sort of fell a bit for it so I'm thinking of diversifying. I've sworn off rice burners and some German cars but I like the Volvo a lot and am thinking at least the SAAB is from the same area. Sort of hoping there's some kind of cross-breeding with these cars.

Saab Central was helpful with the 900's.

I loved my 900. I was less impressed with the newer 900/9-3, so I went to Volvo.

Thanks guys, found what I wanted at Saab Central. Going for an older 900 unless I can convince her that a V50 I found would be a better car.
