Well assuming it has an option of a manual trans and a nice strong engine, I would give it a full 10 !!!

Lease it... DON'T BUY IT.
they lose value faster than a domestic car.
a 2002 Viggen 9-3 saab is about 45,000 a 2000 viggen 9-3 saab is about 27,000
hmmm..... :rolleyes:

Nice. Like was said, lease it. With GM financing you should be able to score a good % rate on it. If they have it stick, that is a helluva nice looking car. They go like stink too (I drove a '01 Viggen)... torque steer monster but who cares, it SO much fun!

i give it a solid 10, supposed to house a 220 HP turbo engine, and i think a 5 speed is available. my sister has a 900S 4 door and it is a solid car. not one problem. but breidy is right about resale value. it drops like crazy! she bought her car 2 yrs old with 16k miles for $18k, i think original sticker was $31k.

All those pics are of a 9-5.
9-3= 3-door 9-5= 5-door
Looks SMOKIN'! One of the owners of StreetFlight has a Viggen 9-3. Pretty cool car!

Sweet looking car indeed, but i'm not sure on it's reliability. I worked for a Saab dealership back in the early 90's, and they used to come in with very odd problems with few miles. Just look into it first.

9-3= 3-door 9-5= 5-door not necessarily! the 93 is available as a 5-door or 3-door or convertible. the 95 is available only as a 4-door (no 5-door hatchback for the newer ones). the new 93 will be made as a 5-door for its introduction with a new 3-door and convertible coming a few months later. these pics are of the new 93. a new 95 sedan will most likely arrive by the 2004 car season.
