I sold my GLT to one of my best friends and went to look at two cars today.

1996 Saab 900SE turboSilver on black five speed with 134k miles. Its my uncles neighbor's car. My uncle is known to embellish things a bit, and this turned out to be way off. He said the car was awesome but never heard it run. The guy said he'd sell it to me for $2,450.

We get there and its immediately knocking...HARD.


Drove about another hour and picked up a 96 850 Turbo wagon. Its navy blue on black with 125k miles. Nice shape and well maintained. Needs a few odds and ends things here like tires, and rear strut bump stops, etc but as of now is a nice driver.

TORQUE STEER!!!


It was wet outside though...lol

Very fast and nice.

I will have pictures tomorrow.


Let the fun begin!

 

Sweet.
Can't wait to see her.

Get ride of the [url] and [img]tags. just use the direct link.

 

having worked on saabs for years you made the right descion

 

I have always wanted an NG900 for YEARS (like since I was 10). I haven't found one that was worth the price yet.

I'm happy with the ******* wagon.






There it is.

Like I was saying. Haven't even cleaned it up yet.

Kind of half assed my head unit in there. (still need to buy the mounting kit.

The guy janked the stock radio. I'll grab one from a junk yard.

 

Oh also,

How do you guys secure the aftermarket head units in the dash? I'll order one of those pocket kits with the slide brackets, but the HU is what is stumping me.

 

Still can't figure out the radio thing.


But I did just put a short ram filter on the car. lol it sounds great.

 

Sweet.

If you get the kit, it should just slide in and lock, unless you have to screw the din holder to it.

 

The pocket will snap and lock in with the side tabs on it. Then the metal sleeve around the aftermarket radio has the tabs you fold over to wrap them around the dash plastic. That will hold it in there.
