I am currently looking into the purchase of a new SAAB 900S Turbo (1986) and am anxious to hear about anyone else's previous experiences with Saabs. In addition, if anyone can inform me as to which options are totally worthless/essential, I would appreciate that info. also, along with information on good dealers in NJ, NY, PA, or CT. Cost info would be appreciated as well. Thanks for your help in advance. Gregg Chapkowski houxa!chap

The power is "only" 135 hp, not the new 160, but I LOVE THIS CAR. Road-feel, highway acceleration, cargo...Saabs seem to do everything with enthusiasm except the 1/4 mile, and I here the 16-valve turbo is great off-the-line too. Options: the road-temp gauge is VERY handy if you often consider "giving chase" on cold days. Turbos used to come with everything else. Dealers: I recommend Rheinertsen Motors in Denville NJ. Schwartz Motors in Dover did some very impressive welding on my cat-convert when it broke, and Schwartz also adjusted my shift-linkage when the other shop wanted to take the trans appart. Cost: The best price, quality and performance at around $18k that I know of. Have fun, John Lynch mhuxj!jfl
