It's silver and has white leather.

And a Turbocharged 2.8L V6 making something like 250 horsepower.

It's almost identical to the one above. And, well, I kinda want it.

It has 96,000 miles. Which might be a little or a lot for a Saab, I dunno.

It's so quirky and Swedish.

It's $7,500 though. Which is more then I'd ever be allowed to spend. Sadness.

How much do you think you could make from dismantling your van for money?

No idea. I know as a whole it's only worth like $1,500.

Good friend (that I haven't seen in a few months :/ ) just got his tuned. Like this weekend, just. Makes lots-o-power to the wheels.

Yupp, probably torque steers like a bitch. But it was already quick and now its probably just down right fast. Even with a conservative 12% drivetrain loss its still 400lb-ft.

Had one that was tuned to 330 hp and 430 tq. No real torque steer. Most of the power comes on after youre already moving. Mine demolished G8 GTs and the likes. Loved the power but not the fuel economy so i traded it on a Saab 9-5 that gets the same mileage in town that the old one got on the highway.

Also theyre asking too much. I sold mine for 7k and it only had 63k on it.

I recently bought a 2008 9-3 XWD and I love it. HOWEVER... Mine has had about $3,000 in in maintenance / repairs between 90k-100k miles. I bought it at 91k, so who knows how well it was taken care of before that, but it's been a bit pricey to own. Just make sure the purchase price isn't so much of a stretch that you can't afford a few surprises.

That said, my car has the same 2.8T and it's a fantastic engine. Extremely smooth and refined, but pulls hard above 3500 RPM. It's a bit quiet for my taste, but there are solutions to that. I get about 21 MPG with mixed hwy/city and it tops out at about 26 on the hwy, but the FWD version should do a little better. If you are seriously considering it and have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
