Anything he should be mindful of?
Carfax is spotless: !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!
It had some obvious enthusiast owners, but I do not see anything about the timing chain. Being more of a bimmerhead myself, I’m not too well versed in the reliability of said timing chain, among other quirks. Research is fairly limited when it comes to reviews on the combi. While there are the basic, corporate reviews, I didn’t find much informaton forum hunting and from Saab enthusiast websites.
In the video I notice a few dings here and there but it seems to be a fairly straight car. The cameraman revs the engine a bit and the boost sounds really good, but they did not show a cold start so who knows if anything lights ups.
Anyways, he’s going to check it out this weekend, and any extra information on this lovely Swede would be much appreciated!

I was told by a GM of a dealership, who had a Saab on his lot for sale , that he wouldn’t sell it to me because it was “worthless.” Not a bad car, mind you, but simply not o f any value. He said spending money on one was a fool’s errand as there is no market for resale.
Good looking cars though...

that is...rather disappointing.
that makes me all the more curious as to what the warranty they’re offering entails.

I mean it’s a low volume Swedish car, bought by GM, run purposefully into the ground and then left to go under. It’s not as though there is a high demand.
Enthusiasts love them. But you have to find one should you want to unload it. I can't imagine trying to finance one or anything like that.

oh no no, he refuses to finance. He’ll definitely be paying in cash whether it’s through a dealer or CL

Just because it’s a bad investment doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy it.

Just because you spend $4500 on it doesn't mean it's worth $4500. I wouldn't do it, is all I'm saying.

I mean, as a family who has never, ever sold a car I suppose that’s definitely priority zero for us; Saab shopping here I go!
