Well, I did highlight a set of four different Land Rovers from this particular dealer, since they once called themselves RoverClassic.net, but they have since changed their name to Saab Classic, so now it’s time to take a sampling of their Saab Collection. Do you think that they are worthy enough for your hard earned dollar?
Let’s start out with this rather attractive 1995 Saab 900 SE Convertible, and instead of the Saab Turbo 4-cylinder, this has the GM 2.5L V-6 with a Manual Gearbox, which is very unusual since the Manuals were preferred with the Turbos, and the Automatics usually were found in the V-6 models. According to the listing:
This Two Owner SAAB spent its life in New York and Florida, it is one of the cleanest and nicest SAAB 900 that we have even listed for sale. It has 5 Speed Manual Gear box, Power Brakes, Traction Control, Air Bag, Leather / Power / Memory / Heated seats, Fog lights, Power windows, Power door locks, Headlight Wipers, CD Changer / in dash CD / AM / FM, Power Convertible Top and Air Conditioning.

Our Mechanics have performed Basic Maintenance on this SAAB, they have also replaced Lower Control arms with Ball Joints, installed New Axles, New front Struts and Rear Shocks. While they had the car on the lift, they also took care of the Rotors and Brake Pads. This car, as you can see in the pictures, was serviced at the dealership for its whole life.
The car has only a little over 73,000 miles on the odometer, and looks amazing. Yes, this is an orphan make, and parts are going to become tough to replace, but the asking price is only $3,400, and with all the major servicing done. So, do you think this Saab is worth the money? See the listing here, and let me know…
How about something a bit larger, like this 1994 Saab 9000 CSE? This is really an impressive sedan that is really a 5-door hatchback, something that the Saab-O-Phile has always pointed out as the key to Saabs being, well, Saabs. This one has the 2.3L Turbo 4-cylinder, but alas, it has the dreaded Automatic. According to the listing:
This Two owner Beauty spend half of its life in NH and the rest in Arkansas. It has Automatic Transmission, Power Brakes, Air Bag, ABS, Cruise Control, Leather / Power / Memory / Heated seats, Fog lights, Headlight Wipers, Power windows, Power door locks, Power Mirrors, CD / Tape / AM / FM, Power Sunroof and SAAB Automatic Climate Control.

Here is a classic 1990 Saab 900 Sedan, one of the old style 900s before GM decided to offer an Opel as a Saab. This is the type of Saab your Mother might have purchased, if she was ever aware of Saabs, because it is equipped with a Cloth interior, a 2.3L 4-Cylinder (Non Turbo, by the way), and an Automatic. According to the listing:

This is really a great old style 900 that is none too exciting, though it has only covered about 72,000 miles, so it’s barely broken in. The asking price is only $3,000, and should be a relatively reliable with all the work that has been done to it. Yea, it’s not a turbo, and it’s not a Coupe, but it is weird enough for most of the people who frequent this site. See the listing here, and tell me if this doesn’t hit your want button.
Finally, here is a 1986 Saab 900 turbo SPG, and this one is suppose to be one of the more desirable Saabs ever. This is powered by a 2.0L DOHC Saab Turbo, and it is backed up by a 5-Speed Manual. According to the listing:

Does this discourage you from the possibility of owning what is arguably the most collectible of Saabs? Take a look at the listing here.
