Wow thanks guys. Tons of info, and its all of great help! My plans? Restore it to a clean look, not nessesarily stock, so I guess I should be looking to get different numbers on the engine and body to dring the price down. Beyond that, a slow build of a turbo engine that can be turned down for DD. (Yea i know, nothing really original) Best, -Cameron

Hello all, I'm obviously new here. I am a large SAAB (pre-GM that is) fan, however, im getting tired of the same ol' same ol'. I am looking to purchase an older Z in the next couple of months, and I was wondering if there was anything that I should look for in the cars, such as common problems. Possible common rust spots, etc. For example, I've had 3 Saab 900 Turbo's. I could tell you that the weak part of the car is the transmission, and more specifically 3rd gear. I could also tell you that if the car has been hit at all from the rear, that it causes the rear hatch to need to be pushed down before it opens (2 of mine were like this). Anything like this would be great while I'm trying to shop this out. Oh and to narrow down the replies, I've been looking at 240's, 260's, and some 280's, thats all. Thanks in advance, -Cameron
