General Comments:
I miss driving my Saab. It was a joy to drive, it fit all five of us. I wish I could afford to restore it.
I need help finding a replacement wiring harness, the dealership wants more than the cars market value for a new harness.
I am almost ready to give it up.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Wow that old Saab doesn't owe you a thing. 19 years old, I know a lot of 19 year olds who have caused a lot more trouble. Give her a good burial, she's served you well.

Can't you just buy another 900, after all, the one you have is 19 years old!
