My Red 1984 900t 4 door needs a good home.
Body is in excellent shape. Couple of parking lot dings. Otherwise rust free.
Underside is good as well. It's a perky little car, excellent history. We
wanted our babysitter to have a good, safe car and gave her this one, at which
point it immediately started leaking oil like crazy. So we took this one back
and swapped her for my wife's '87 9000 [the Silver Slug]. What do they say,
no good deed goes unpunished? Anyway, the facts:
120k-ish miles 3 speed autotragic [swapped a re-built one in last year] Well
maintained, mechanically great with the following exceptions:
1. Needs RF caliper. Gone beyond clunk, now seizes if you brake going backwards.
2. Timing chain gasket sprung a leak. This was the straw that broke my camel
back..
Inside is functional, but the drivers seat is pretty cracked and the middle
of the rear seat is chewed [baby seat wore out the middle piece]
Everything works, electric windows, AC, fogs, Turbo, all that stuff...
Decent snows on steel rims, pretty dead Michellins on Super Incas [missing
one hubcap]
Car runs, drives, just pees a lot of oil!
My mech says it's a "pull the engine for a $50 gasket" and I'm just not going
to do it when we have three other Saabs with various to-do lists going.
So, make me a reasonable offer. Ask me reasonable questions. Save my marriage.
Car is in Brattleboro VT, Exit 3 off 91 just over the MA border.
