Anyone ever own, drive, or otherwise work with the Saab 900? First gen primarily, but second gen is also on the table. I'm thinking I very much want to get one. Other models of Saab are also an option, however, I'm not looking to get anything made after '98.
Any input is appreciated.

My dad owns a 96 saab 900 ng. Pretty comfy car and reasonable quick considering it has a autobox. The older saabs are a bit better built. Newer saabs share more parts with its GM countermodels(vauxhall cavelier I think).
Make sure the wires for the door speakers are there if you want to upghrade/put speakers there because there are models that don't have the wiring and it's a pain in the butt to get them there as the door uses a plug/connector for all the wires.
Make sure they are clear of rust as it could be present on the usual spots. Keep the door and hatch rubbers clean as they carry debris with rain water and can make hotspots of dirt that attract moist. Enginges and drivetrain are pretty bulletproof. 2,3 turbo is the endgame option. If you can, GET THAT ONE.
Overal relaible car that is somewhat quirky. But remember, if you buy a saab once, you can only own saab for the rest of your life.

Thanks eurobro, info is greatly appreciated.
I'll look into the 2.3T, not sure if the models available in the area are turbo or not, but I know that they are all standard tranny
