('Classic') Saab 900 Wanted

[Urban_Paranoia]

Anyone got one up for grabs? I've been without an old motor for far too long...

Mr livered has a lovely jrg example

[Mr Livered]

I have, yeah - but what sort of condition/budget are you looking at?

 

Ropey Saab 900s can still be had for old-banger money (ie scrap value plus a bit), and they're so well-built that they can often be resurrected even when they look shit. I have one such vehicle, but on that one there really is a lot of work to get it right.

 

If you're willing to sink a bit more into it, you could try the uksaabs forum, which is where I got mine.

[Urban_Paranoia]

Hmmm...good question...well, it rather depends on what's available and what I can sell (probably music gear/guitars) in order to fund it!
 

Ball-park guesswork - £1K absolute top, but ideally anything from £0.00p - £600...

 

[Mr Livered]

Well that's mid-range budget for one of these: you can afford something better than a scrapper, but maybe not a top-spec, mint-condition 900 like the sort of thing you might find from an enthusiasts' forum.

 

On Ebay at the moment there's a floppytop 900 Turbo, K reg, starting bid £850 so it'll be at the top of your budget but looks ace if convertibles are your thing. (ebay tat thread page 1858).

_{However...what's yours like? Or should I say "How bad is it?"}

I know of a nice 99 Saab with number plate FAG++Y for sale, been stored inside. Very solid but needs work, pale blue.

Any idea of price?
