I also had a 2002, the last GM Saab before they became Opels. I had that car 8 years, loved it, but when I sold it the electronics were starting to do weird things and it was time to go.

I don't know, if I could find a pre-GM Saab in showroom condition for not a boat-load of money, I might buy it.

And before you mention it, a couple cars before the 79 Saab I owned a 72 Volvo 142. My dad had a 68 144, then a 71 142, and while he had the 71 he also bought a 73 145 which he eventually let me take to college, and a late 60's 144 that he bought and parked under a tree. I don't know if he planned on using it for parts or exactly why he bought it, but he never drove it. After he died my mom sold it. The people who bought it put some oil in the carbs and some fresh gas. They fired it up and drove it home.
