1999 Saab Viggen 9-3 151k miles new engine

[thaedge]

Hey guys, know this is a volvo forum (and I've used it for my volvos) but thought there might be some cross over for a cool saab. For those of you not familiar with saab viggens, it's Saab highest performance offering, only 400 were made, this is one of them. Stock with 225hp in a 2.3L and Mitsubishi TD04 turbo.

Info below, nice car. $5500 is a fair price.
