The 1995 Saab 900 for buyers
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 1995 Saab 900; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Thinking about the 1995 Saab 900? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
What to check on the 900
There are 7 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 100 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, electrical system and engine and engine cooling; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The figures, translated
Its powertrain is the 2.3L 4-cylinder with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The EPA rates it at 11.2 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 34 litres. That works out to about $17.36 per 100 km at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Practical details
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. With 680 litres of luggage space by the EPA's measure, it takes bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Try the 900 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 900 answers the big questions.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.
Questions first?
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
