After almost 2 years of driving, I finally got my own car. Its a 1988 Saab 9000S with 134k miles...the previous owner took excellent care of it!
I need to goto the dealer and get an unlock code for the stereo, the previous owner lost it, but other than that, everything works, even the AC!
It came with 8 snow tires on steel wheels/hubcaps...I should be able to sell those off and get a little bit of cash.

Cliff notes: PICS!!

Sorry for the crappy pics, 1) my camera sucks 2) i took them in a dark garage so I couldnt get too far from the car :p

Great price on a good car!
They are fun to drive and I believe it's got the low pressure 2.0l turbo right?
$1725 is cheap.

Unfortanetly this one doesnt have the turbo. 130hp w/ 3000 lbs isnt very fast, but it gets me from place to place very comfortably :)

Fast enough to keep up with traffic and seriously, who needs 250hp when traffic is 35 - 55mph.
Have fun with it. The leather quality is good.

Nice car. :)

My first car was a 1971 Olds Cutlass Supreme. Paid $400. Was all rusted out. After some mods it would make the tires protest, front end would lift up a foot or two, and it would be GONE. Fast as hell.

In the parking lot, if you hit it with your hand in just about any place on the body, rust and bondo would fall out in LARGE chunks. :D
