Almost seems too cheap. The dealer must be making a few quid, so must have picked it up for peanuts....

Is this the model that had the bulkhead issues? Or was that the previous one?

Any known problems to look out for?

Thanks

I would say the price looks about right for a trade vendor.

You would deffo want to be putting a steering rack brace on it. That alone though won't make much difference to steering feel but will safeguard agains issues with cracked bulkheads & nearly totally eliminate torque steer.

I looked at a 2002 2 litre Vert the other week, was going to be a spur of the moment purchase to go along side my 93 SS.

It had done 70k and was clean.

Up at 3k but didnt like the drive of it compared to my 93SS.

It felt loose and to much scuttle shake.

You need to watch out for sludging - 2.0 LPTs are very susceptible.

You're looking for a FSH with evidence of regular oil changes with the proper Saab-recommended oil. Or you can have the sump dropped and cleaned out.
