brett701 · 09-27-2015, 11:52 AM

I have purchased a car based on another thread i've posted. I was hoping I could receive some help from a community that I trust.

I am trying to get my wife a new car. I am not looking for the same economy that i was looking for before. I am looking for a nicer looking car that isn't a huge waste of money and will have minimal problems. I know SAAB is known for problems, but this model year has the GM ECO engine.

This particular SAAB 2.0T I am able to purchase for $6000

I went and did a test drive in the city. Can you all let me know what you think? and if there is anything I can do to make certain i'm not getting a lemon.

The Owner buys and sells cars. He wants me to pay for safety emissions and he will take to his guy down the street.

VIN#YS3FD797376004141

NEGATIVES
-perimeter of windshield has a black lining that the color is coming off
. It's fixable i think.
-the wheels have scratches
-the passenger interior seat is separating at the seams in one spot.
-I think the previous owner was a smoker. The convertible top ceiling is dirty and yellow.

Thank you all for your help.
