What Owners are Saying About the 1997 Saab 9000

"great for me"

"i had a 98 cse with aero management, very fast car, competes with 5.0 v8. i have owned it for 9 moths and i liked it a lot. lots of maintenance needed and work. i replaced tranny twice having only 117k miles, first one had a bad sincro , second craked. But i liked it a lot. very comfortable, drove it cross contry from vt to ca with no problems in 3 days..."

"GREAT vehicle"

"She is a 93 with 199K, I have had her for 11 years and is still a blast to drive. Very few mechanical issues. Her doc says she is clean with no leaks and could go another 100K. She is sassy red and with an occasional waxing, still looks new. Lots of comments of surprise when I tell folks how old she is...her style is still hot and yet she is a workhorse. I definitely put her through her paces and she comes through every time."

"What a Find..."

"I bought this car used in 1999 for $7k from a dealer; it was a one owner trade with 70k miles; it now has 142k and is a scream to drive; great performance, reliability and I can haul most anything with the back seats down; like my bike and all my camping gear; replaced the clutch twice however; this car was almost mint when I got and still turns heads; it looks new; of course I wax it annually; I was told by a gal at Starbuck's that it was SICK; this means very cool today; I will hang on to it until she dies...this would be a sad day; this care prefers mid-grade fuel for best performance...I will miss her when she goes...she speaks to me...and I treat her well; I have had minimal repairs over the last seven years...some electrical stuff is going, buy hey, you get this with older rides"
