Have you bagged a Bargain Gm900?

Guys, what is the best bargain Saab you have seen/bought.

I bought both my cars for less that £1000 each on eBay and they are great

The red Talladega S was my 2nd purchase, for £850, is a 133K '97 with a full service history, a JVC Chameleon head unit 16"s and midnight tints all round, rust free and minimal stonechipping etc.

This is my wife's '97 SE Turbo, really strange that it has also done 133K. It was my first eBay Saab and I loved it that much I gave up the idea of buying an Audi Coupe and bought the Talladega (I'd be dangerous in a turbo!). It has a full service history, Leather interior/Walnut dash, CD changer and has enough history to start a small bonfire. it was a stonking £920!!

I am sure that I am not the only Saab bargain hunter out there.........

Got mine for 950 dollars with 104K miles. Had to rebuild the engine though, oil pump failure.

Not a bad deal. I've enjoyed owning the car!

Wow, I kinda thought mine was a bargain when I bought it 2 years ago. $5900 for a silver 97 SE 5 door. Perfect condition w/ 109k miles. I think I was the first eBay NG900 I had seen here. Glad to see more folks take advantage. These cars aren't hard to fix up anyway. There's a Sonnett for under $300 on there right now, BTW.

Two coupes, Jamie, very nice. So what if one isn't turbo.
I love the coupes the best.
Technically, I have 2 coupes, but one has a cloth top.
*sigh*
Unfortunately, as much as I know about them, I've never recieved a bargain.

I paid market for my 98, but I do consider it a fair buy as I haven't spent more then $400 "dealer dollars" on it in almost a year. She's slowly becoming the most touble-free Saab I've ever owned (4 total). She still has to beat out the 98 Convertible I started with to be the most reliable. I would put that 1st car against any other in terms of reliability. Wish I'd have kept her actually.

*starts knocking on every piece of wood in the house*

I really like the Clothtops, budget won't stretch to one though (I may have to sell a kidney on eBay!);oops:

I have only recently passed my test at 29 (after not being bothered to try for 12 years, and so the turbo is mad to insure, my wife has been driving for 10 years, so it's not a problem for her.

The insurance for her on the turbo is almost half what she paid to insure our other car (currently a £15,000 garden orniment) and 28mpg in the 900 is DOUBLE what a 4.0 V8 Range Rover gets,

$1,800 USD for my '94 red 900SE coupe with 120k miles. with 4 brand new snow tires and steelies and a 12" JL sub and a kenwood amp.

Some more pics of the Turbo

I need to get the repeaters swapped for Crystals.....

..the inside needs a steam clean....

.....the leather in the back is untouched....but the front is a bit scuffed

...no major bodywork issues, a few stone chips....

.... a good shot of the sports exhaust...and finally the obligitory "headlights and Fogs" shot. Other than needing a wash and polish (has covered 200 miles this week) I am happy with my purchase.

Overall I think it was £920 well spent, I was looking on eBay last week and it would buy me a J reg BMW 316i!!!!!!!!!
