Buying Tips for the 1992 Saab 900 (Classic)

  • Test reverse gear carefully; if it pops out under load, the front-mounted gearbox is likely failing and requires a very expensive rebuild.
  • Meticulously inspect the front wheel arches, floor pans, and "drive tunnel" (where the driveshafts exit) for structural rust.
  • Listen for a whining noise from the gearbox in lower gears, indicating pinion bearing wear.
  • Check the headliner; they almost universally sag and require professional re-trimming.
  • Verify the condition of the turbocharger on APC models; look for blue smoke on acceleration indicating worn seals.
