Anyhow, it's been years since I saw one, so I'm glad to hear good feedback. But do you think it can still be an entry-level luxury car?Mardell Tobinhttp://www.hondamorristown.com/Why-Buy-Used.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-13095203716984775272013-03-11T20:36:17.338-07:002013-03-11T20:36:17.338-07:00What?

I go away for 2 weeks and both the pope and his car move on?<br /><br />While I approve of a 560SEC, not sure it counts as non-German and enviro friendly.<br /><br />For a replacement, I dunno.

The rubbery shifter and that too close clutch peddle placement are, unfortunately, indicative of these cars. The broken radio - Saab Information Display (SID) is a common fault and can be rectified. The mid-range torque of the 2.3 is addictive, isn't it?! I think if you'd had a turn in a better cared for example, you might have enjoyed it a bit more, but you definitely did get a good dose of the Saab quirk. <br /><br />On a related note, are you looking for a project car?Zackswheels https://www.blogger.com/profile/08943709925140670607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-30076145170969798402013-03-09T02:09:23.838-08:002013-03-09T02:09:23.838-08:00Now that you mentioned it, how about an S2000?

I'd love to drive one despite the fact that I'd feel terribly self conscious in a convertible. <br /><br />That particular Saab sounds, frankly, horrible.Edvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02044614032515406724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34595928.post-12983472043253925252013-03-08T17:16:27.107-08:002013-03-08T17:16:27.107-08:00On Star!On Star!Pete Dushenskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01337224468531355666noreply@blogger.com
