That's sad - older Saabs were individual and rather nice cars. I have had 4, usually as 'stop gap' cars, between alfas ;-)
An old 96 with the horrid Ford V4 (but comfy seats, column gearchange - fun! and quite good handling), a 900 low pressure turbo (fantastic car, good to drive, comfortable and surprisingly quick) and a couple of non-turbo 9000s.
