Thinking of buying the 1995 Saab 900?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1995 Saab 900 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 1995 Saab 900, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA has 100 owner complaints on file, mostly about power train, electrical system and engine and engine cooling. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the figures tell you
The engine is the 2.3L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
At 11.2 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 34 litres of fuel. Every 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the 900 makes sense
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
How big it is
It is a straightforward car to drive, park and live with. At 680 litres, the trunk fits bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Try before you buy
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
What it costs to run
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Your move
Tell us the model and the dates, and we reply with an offer.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1995 Saab 900 from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 1995 Saab 900 for you and reply within one business day.
