So, I am looking to buy a car for myself and want to get something that is both interesting and nice. I always liked Saab and think the late model Saabs prior to banruptcy looked beautiful.

Planning on picking up a low milage 9-5 aero turbo from the late 2000s/early 2010s but I wanted to know what cons there are going to be associated with the car aside from the obvious difficulty of finding specialty mechanics.

Just buy a Ford EcoBoost car instead.

he said he wants something that's both interesting and nice.

>>15387284
You literally just described ecoboost. Except it's also fast. Really fast. Really fucking fast.

>>15387286
It clear he said something both interesting and nice, not alphonsey and gay.

>>15387279
I actually like the fiesta but again, I want something that is more interesting and I also want a midsize/full size and think that the Taurus is incredibly boring.

Plus, late model Saabs are an absolute steal right now.

What prices are they going for?
>>
>>15387312
You can get an 07 2L turbo 9-3 for under $5k in decent condition.

the 2011s and 2010s are more expensive but I think if I wait around for the right car I can find a 2011 9-5 for under $13k which I'm probably willing to do.

Well, I personally would shell out the extra cash for the EcoBoost for extra performance but that's just me. Anyway, how many miles are on the odometer for a price like that?
>>
>>15387337
I'm not going to be hooning the car or taking it to autocross. I don't have the time to be a real car guy right now and would just get an e30 if I did have the time.

>>15387274
that styling is gorgeous

Why would you want to own the palm pre of cars?

So fucking sad, they crushed 30 mint pre production because of shit reasons. ;_;
>>
>>15387274
Well afaik they must be decent, the gear is new and everything, parts are available, it's just a little shitty on gas especially with the good engines, altough if you're in the states I don't think it's such a pain in the ass, the 2.8 v6 is pretty good imo, they fare pretty well against the germans

also look at the damn thing, go buy that thing now, I'm thinking about getting one too when I'll get some money
>>
>>15387393
this specific one should be really expensive,it's a hirsch, I think I saw it on some site going for 70-90k euros I think?
>>
>>15387274
I really had no idea Saab is still alive. I bet the maintenance and parts cost a lot
>>
>>15388608
GM platforms, the last ones even shared their engines with other GM products (looking at you 2.8T).
