*updated*
Thinking of selling this again. It sits too much and is time for someone else to enjoy it.
Put some Ronals on it awhile back that spruce it up. The body and interior are a 8.5/10 but some of the mechanicals let it down some. There are a few small rust bubbles but nothing rotted through. One spot on the sunroof, one on the hood where I thought I fixed it, and one small spot on front right fender.
It does run and drive fine for a "Sunday driver" but it could use some more work to really enjoy it, I think. Gearbox has lots of play and could be rebuilt. The old 8v Turbo engine is a bit tired and could use a rebuild or even a 16v turbo swap. It just so happens I have a spare one of those that I'd be willing to include in the sale.
Will include the Ronals and the manhole cover wheels. Tires look fine but are a few years old.
Needs a better stereo. Put some other speakers in it but think the head unit is bad. I have a vintage Blaupunkt radio to include.
Odo doesn't work. I have a spare gauge cluster from an '89. Not sure if it'd work but would imagine it would.
Probably needs new shocks and bushings underneath too.
Sunroof stuck shut but doesn't leak.
Brakes and exhaust were recently replaced.
I'd love to see it go to a good SAAB home and will relist it on Saab Net soon.

Still for sale. 113 views, but no comments so far. I know it's not as desirable as a 99 or SPG but hoping to find it a good home. No reasonable offer refused.
Plan to snap some more photos when the weather warms/dries up here.

I like it.
I took some photos of your car in Iowa.
Reflection on hood is not bad paint!
Photo of my 83 900 turbo...RIP...Rust in upstate NY. It was originally a silver automatic...became a black 5-speed.....had SAG (special appointment group) package. I love the electric window switches in the dash. Also did the 3" side trim delete; it looks so much cleaner.

They look so nice without all the rub strips, and side trim.

Wow, those are better than the ones I have. Thanks! Though that was a paint issue on the hood in IA. I had some small rust spots to fix on the hood and didn't get it painted in time for the show So just hit it with some red primer so it wasn't as noticeable. All fixed now and hood looks great.
While I do hope to sell it, I may just store it if I can't get a reasonable price for it. Don't wanna give it away and the prices on c900's seems to be going up, so may try again in a year or so if nothing soon.
