Successfully purchased a car. Ended up pulling the trigger on a Saab. Car’s great. Had a more knowledgeable friend come with me to give it a look over under the hood for stuff I would miss. There wasn’t anything. Car made the drive back from KC with no issues. And the Rolex 24 is on. Great day.

Yay Saab! I’ve always had a soft spot but knowing very little about them has scared me away.

I’d been doing research over the past two weeks and looking at prices of parts before I decided to go for it. It’s quirky, that’s for sure!

still a great looking car! Congrats. Every time I see on for sale I think about it. I’ve only had a Saabaru, so one of these days I’ll get one just like your’s. Silver is a great color on the 9-3.

Nice choice. You get some Swedish quirkiness and styling with a turbo Gm engine. I’ve heard good things about those cars.

Thanks! I’m the same way, I always have to take a look or think about it. But it’s getting hard to find Saabs in good condition. I think it was just luck and patience that allowed me to find this one.

The quirkiness is great. The speed warning or night panel for instance. And of course the cup holder!

Wait, what is the night panel? And what could possible be quirky about a cup holder?

I give it 6 months at most before something expensive happens.

Good looking car - if I had to have a car now, I’d like to think I have the balls to get a 9/5 ... the last one.

It’s a button that turns off all the panel lights except for the speedometer. And the cupholder folds into itself and ejects out.
