It would make a good winter car, I don't really have room for it, but I really want it for some reason.

Technical stuff: Saab 900SE Turbo, 320000km, manual, runs and drives great, $2000.

10/10 would hoon, that turbo is shot though.

So far I'm loving my 900s (non turbo) winter beater

No idea how much a turbo is to fix though.

I remember you bought one of these bad boys now! Thoughts? Concerns?

It's comfortable, but a bit boat-ish in the corners (I'm extremely biased here because my track modified FR-S has almost zero body roll). The engine even in NA form has enough torque to feel bigger than it is and they have a TON of interior room, almost volvo wagon-like.

I have a few electrical gremlins.

-It warns me that my coolant is low on each startup (lies)

-My reverse lights don't work (Oregon has no inspections FTW!), it's likely the reverse switch that's mounted to the transmission. $20 part that I haven't bothered to replace yet.

-A spring in my turn signal stalk was broken when I purchased it, apparently it's a common problem. I bought a used signal stalk assembly for $15 and it swapped in really easily.

I was looking at a 900S about a month ago (my wallet talked me out of it) that appeared to be the same colour. Far lower mileage, though.

If you can make room, maybe go for it.
