I'm reposting this for the week crowd so we can add some more opinions to this poll. Enjoy!
Since it seems Oppo is a little slow today, I figured I'd add another NPOCP. During my scouring of various Web Pages for SAABs, I found this on ebay and as of January 18th, the price is $11,100 'merican dollars. For those of you who don't know what this is, it is the SAAB 9-3 Turbo X. Built to celebrate SAAB's 30 years of turbocharging, it came with an e-LSD and XWD (which is SAAB speak for a Haldex system). It came with a 2.8 liter V6 gasoline engine pumping out 280 horsepower and 11.6 psi of boost, compared to the 8.7 of the regular Aero version. This particular version comes with a 6 speed manual transmission, the superior choice. It was available as a SportCombi (which is the wagon version) but this car is unfortunately not a SC.
This is one of the coolest parts of the car to me. Drawing inspiration from the original SAAB 99 Turbo, this is most definitely the coolest boost gauge ever.
So Oppo, NPOCP?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Edit: Looks like the boost gauge pic got kinja'd. Attempting to fix... FIXED

I knew it almost might be a bad idea to post it here (considering almost all of us are broke) but decided against my better judgement. Hope it's not too bad of a financial hit for you!

As much as I love Saabs I don't think I would venture to pay 12k for one with 80 k miles on the clock. Seeing that there is no real factory support (limited parts) I wouldn't want it at that price. Maybe at $9-10k for sure but not any more.

I friggen love these things, last time I even attempted to look for one they were up in the mid 20s. 11k would be hard to say no to.
