Well, Since I totalled my car over new years (took out a road sign when I went into the ditch during a snowstorm), I am now on the hunt for a new car. Right now, I have my sights set on a Saab. I’m currently deciding between 3 cars, but I think I’ve made my choice. I just need to call the person and schedule a visit. (And have the shop do a quick one-over on it).
Here are the cars I’m looking at:
1997 Saab 900SE Turbo (Black) (Manual) – 136,000 miles – $5000
1999 Saab 9-3t (Cayenne Red) (Auto) – 104,000 miles – $6995
2000 Saab 9-3t (Silver) (Auto) – 89,000 miles – $6995
The 2000 9-3 has 3 minor accidents listed in its carfax report, so I’m a little warry of that one, otherwise it looks like a spectacular car for a great price.
The 1999 9-3 is the only one of the 3 that is not fully loaded (Leather heated seats, sunroof etc). And now that I’ve been looking at Saabs, seeing so many that are loaded, it would be a shame to get one thats not.
So I’m leaning towards the ‘97 900SE. It’s a little bit older, but from what I’ve been reading on some Saab Forums, the 900SE is a nice little car. Average lifetime for a Saab is also 250,000+ miles. It’s fully loaded, and looks a little bit better to my wallet than the others.
