Just thought I'd tell y'all I got a 99 SAAB 9.3 and I love it to bits!

No rattles or anything odd at all. Well built and equipped.

Wish I'd got one years ago!

Now, what do you think of a '96'? Are spares easy? What to look for in
an oldie like this?

Cheers

Great litte cars, but nothing like a 9-3...

> Are spares easy?

V4 engine and wear parts (clutch, brake, exhaust etc) are easy to find. Specific
parts for specific years such as trim or locks are more difficult but still
available at used parts sales of Saab clubs or Ebay etc.
I do not know about availability of two stroke engine parts, all my vintage
SAABs are V4.
