^ friend of mine has an s70 since new and it has practically fallen apart after 95k. They have spent much more than the car is worth in recent years to keep it running, eventually bought an older 740 wagon to replace it. Great seats though.

yep change lane - signal later - check mirror for dead body. - the old original SAAB 900 was the best speeding ticket collector vehicle.

I recently purchased a 1992 240gl with a 5spd manual back in sept. A TRUE 5 spd. One owner, a longtime friend of my parents. He was a delta pilot. Its the same guy I bought my first w123 from in 2000 and then sold to diesel don late 2001. Don loved that car so much by the end he had 6 or 7 before leaving the forum and switching to TDIs.

anyways it had 167k silver with blue interior. manual sunroof. just a lovely all service records, 1 small fender bender, 1 true owner car. Bought it for $1000. A/c was toast. and it did not have cruise. I loved this car! and I had been after it for years. But after 3 days of driving my bum knee said NO! I mean I was in dire pain by the time I would get home from work. It was only in my possession 4 days. CL ad for $2500 and it was gone same day I listed it.

anyway where the hell was i going with this tale...oh The old ones are the best! I had a 96 850 turbo wagon that was TUNED and it shredded the front tires. But what a junky rattle trap. Everything was broken on the inside and what wasnt broken made a noise.
