The 1996 Saab 9000: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1996 Saab 9000; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. For anyone shopping for the 1996 Saab 9000, here are the facts that matter.
A buyer's checks
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. NHTSA has 10 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine and engine cooling, power train and service brakes. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
Engine and fuel
The 2.3L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Its combined rating is 11.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 35 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $178.30. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,275 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
How big it is
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway.
A longer test drive
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A test week in the 9000 tells you more than any review. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer.
Which one to look for
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,275 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $178.30 at our price setting.
Still deciding?
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
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 1996 Saab 9000 from us first.
