Can anyone here advise about the installation of a trailer hitch on my '88
9000 Turbo?
Wanting to be able to tow a three-rail motorcycle trailer. Do-able?

Sure. That's a light trailer.

FYI: I got what I thought was a good deal on a custom hitch for my 9000
CSE from http://www.bageco.com/toc.htm. It was about half the price of
what Saab charges and was even less than what the Connecticut manufacturer
charges direct from the factory. On my 1994 CSE (now my son's) one had to
remove the bumper to fit on the hitch but on my 1998 CSE one can get at
all the pre-drilled and tapped holes without removing the bumper.

I only use it to tow a small sailboat (Sunfish) with a aluminum trailer.
The car does not notice it is there.

Good Luck, R. Frist
