Me thinks that this is too good to be true but ... do 9-3s come wired
up for cruise control, the only action required being to fit a new

Thanks in advance. Tim

As some of you might remember I posted a survey on this website in
February.  It's taking "a bit" longer to finish the analysis of the

three weeks ago set off one morning and i thought i was dragging an exhaust

any opinions (good, bad or otherwise) on the 3 ltr diesel turbo for the 9-5?
i have the chance to get a 1 year old ex demonstrator for a good price, so i
am interested in experience from others.
this will be a work car, with 25 to 30,000 miles /yr

Ive had a 115 bhp TiD for about a month. It has done about 69000 miles and
has a full saab service history.
Now that I am getting used to driving a diesel it feels reasonably nippy
around town.

I've just bought one with 81,000kms (just under 50,000 miles) on the
clock. It's my first Saab and first automatic (not my original choice,
but was a relative bargain).

A good buddy of mine has a 1996 Saab 900 (2.5 V6) that has some strange

I have an '88 900s and noticed the positions of the sholder harness
tabs.  The driver's seat tab is in a different postion in the slot than
