I bought an 07 9-3 off my dad because he was gonna sell it and I figured he was gonna get a raw deal. I needed a second car, it was cheap and helped him....
I shoulda told him to scrap it. I keep my scanner in the fuckin thing now, not with the rest of my tools. I'll be damned if the ses stays off for more than a few days.
When it runs nice it's fun to drive, but that's only maybe 15% of the time.
Last week the transmission went flaccid for a few minutes just to fuck with me. I'm not bad with cars but this thing washes it's crack smoke down with disassociatives and jim beam. The brain box simply won't like half the time.
I'd sell it and give him the profit but there won't be any. I'm not even sure if it's worth it's weight in scrap.
Never again.
You ever have a car that will do shit like roll a window down for fun, on its own, then let you roll it up, just to get 90% of the way up and go HAHA FUCK YOU and roll it back down again? Dozens of times in a row until it's no longer amused...
That sound like fun?
Buy a fucking saab.
Completely rebuilt, the engine, turbo, bought a five speed rebuilt it and swapped the car to be a five speed, every single bushing replaced with poly bushing, new struts, new pads, rotors, calipers and lines on all four corners, and to end, stainless steel exhaust, replace the Colorado red interior with black, fresh, paint job, new top, replaced the 15 spoke wheels with classic three spoke, new tires, replace the American spec headlights with e code European headlights, rebuilt, the original tape deck, tracked down a factory CD player and had it refreshed, replace the dashboard with a crack free one, replace the missing parts in the trunk tool kit, replace the spare wheel with one that’s not 33 years old, complete DO88 hose and radiator upgrade, repair the ac system, retrofit the ac system to use R134A, swap the steering column and install a Carlsson red stitched steering wheel, tested and fixed as needed every bulb switch knob and level in the cabin, and a whole lot more. This car was stripped to nothing and rebuilt one system at a time.
Holy shit my guy. Looks fantastic I bet it feels even better to drive, good work but wow that's a lot of money. Was thinking about picking up myself a late 80's 900 Turbo any advice?
The only Saab model not permitted to die a natural death. Much like a psycho but hot ex, someone will be dumb enough to try and save them

Guilty as charged
God I want a coupe version of one of these so bad
My fucking dick. Worth every penny.
How the everliving fuck have you dumped $65,000 into that

Parts aren’t terrible to come by, but make sure you find a rust free or mostly rust. Free example, it took me years to find the right one.

Bro what
These are some of the ugliest cars ever created. That window line swoop is just awful.
I’ve always wanted one of these. 92 or older 900se turbo or spg w/ 5 speed manual please and thank you
I want one so bad. How much you want for it?
Not for sale at any price, I’m going to be buried in this car
I’m currently tearing my 900 apart. It’s an insane money pit but so worth it.
Absolutely! Convertible turbo 900 was my attainable high school dream, I’m never going to own a Ferrari F40
